Surprise yourself. Our standard seat rod shares the medium-fast action of our Center Axis rod, with a supple butt section for throwing effortless d-loop, rolls, and switch moves for complex casts and line pickups. A bit more power in the tip resists forming tailing loops when you ask for more distance. The matte and low contrast finish reduces sun flash and silhouette.

OTHER HALF OF THE STORY
The Center Axis system can only be as good as the rod it’s mated to, so truth be told, the majority of our effort went into developing a truly excellent fly rod.

We’ve built the rod that we wanted to fish: A dynamic, versatile rod that’s fun to cast. A rod that strikes a balance between speed and loop control. And specifically—because it gets its power from a deep loading bottom section—a rod that “rolls” with the expanding repertoire of D-loop casts.

This last point can’t be overstated. When your back is to the wall (0f overhanging willows) the ability to make a long, tight Scandi cast can be incredibly useful. To make this happen the rod needs to load deep. It’s not rocket science, but it’s a feature often overlooked.

Finish details were another opportunity to innovate. We took a lesson from the Heron, and finish our rods in a silhouette and flash reducing matte grey.

Having developed this fine fishing tool, we couldn’t resist offering it in a standard seat version as well.
