Elevation 9’ #8 Fly Rod - 4PC
The Elevation series is a super light and smooth medium fast action range of rods. Designed for anglers at all levels. Utilising sustainable production and eco friendly components.
In general the rods have a sensitive and protective tip that is very stable and crisp, with a smooth progressive curve further down the blank with a powerful butt section. The action is easy to cast, forgiving and produce accurate casts at high line speed. The rods have great line feel and you will easily connect to the rod to all types of casts. Summed up these are top modern rods with light feel and an action that suits anglers at all levels.
9' #8 Fly Rod: Typical rods for heavier fishing after migratory trout, pike, salmon, seatrout, and bonefish. These rods suit rivers, lakes, coastal, and flats fishing where big fish and demanding conditions are common. Unique balance and weight for rods in this category.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Matte, lightly buffed blanks with no added coloration, giving them a dark graphite grey appearance. Any possible excessive carbon waste particles are collected in a separate tank before water is passed on to the community cleaning facility. The blanks have a soft spiral pattern and thin, matte coating.
New, improved full wells grips of 3A cork without rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy-resins needed in the grips. Even the lighter rods have a small cork butt, and from 9´ #7 and up, there are full-size fighting butts on all rods.
Metal parts of reel seats are “clear anodized,” which is the least toxic process possible when using aluminum reel seats. We use no chrome (lead) or paint in the anodizing bath.
For the coatings on blank, guides, and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, we use a bio-based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better working atmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odors to a minimum.
Rods are mounted with light wire single-leg guides and KW style stripper guides. We use a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame. Best sustainable choice, still hard and with no chrome plating, which contains lead.
Rod bag and rod tube cover are made of recycled REPREVE polyester.
The rod tubes are made of recyclable Polypropylene (PP), they are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user. Given its durability and the possibility to melt and reform into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods.
