RPM – ROD PERFORMANCE MATRIX
This formula will help you select the right rod for exactly how and where you’re fishing.

We have a rod to handle virtually every fishing scenario. Our Rod Performance Matrix helps you easily select the rod most suitable for the kind of fishing you’re doing, by numerically charting each of the three key elements our rods are designed around: Presentation, Distance and Lifting.

Presentation is the accuracy and manner in which the fly and leader land in the water.
Distance, as you probably guessed, signifies how far you can deliver the fly.
Lifting indicates the rod’s primary function in the fish-fighting phase, lifting power.
