Product Information

The Drift Rod is designed to be light in overall weight, fast damping and well balanced as we used a mixture of our highest modulus carbon fiber along with a down-locking reel seat and removable weighted fighting butt. You can further fine tune balance with 3/8th inch ID washers - depending on the weight of your reel. The tip is ultra-sensitive allowing one to distinguish between a subtle take and a bottom tick with a soft tipped action that protects the very light tippets often needed to sustain a drift and remain invisible to a selective trout.The versatility of this rod will amaze as it can be fished as a traditional 9' 4 piece 3 weight, add a 1' section to make it a 10' rod, a 27 inch section to make it an 11' 3 inch rod, or add both conversion sections for a length of 12' 3 inches. So from traditional 3 weight lines to the tight line nymphing techniques including French, Czech and Polish styles, you'll make the "leader only" tuck casts with accuracy and ease - at any rod length. Finally, we included a 3 inch lower cork grip that replaces the weighted fighting butt - perfect for the new micro spey lines and techniques. just pick the optimal length for the environment and application.
