When anglers read the water and analyze every riffle to increase the chances of catching a fish, the STRIKE rod is at the ready despite all the challenging variables. This rod is built specifically for the euro nymph angler so you can maximize your fly fishing opportunities with spellbinding precision. The STRIKE is designed to give anglers an advanced fish catching advantage for specific euro nymphing applications. A new, improved, focused model list covers the most popular length and weight for euro nymphing applications. In addition, the STRIKE features a new medium-fast action blank, improving accuracy and ease of casting. With a traditional down-locking reel seat, micro-fighting butt, single-foot guides, and reshaped handle for better balance points, the STRIKE is tuned and outfitted for the finest details applied in euro nymphing techniques. Added features include a new stripping guide, optimally positioned to remove line slap, and two tip-positioned snake guides that prevent fine tippets from wrapping around the guides when casting or repositioning the drift.
