Elevation fly rods utilizes the very latest in material and pattern technology, as well as featuring several more environmentally friendly components, these rods are revolutionary. They have a clear goal to produce more sustainable products at Guideline and this rod series will show the way for future rod production.
They have worked hard on the details to do whatever is possible to make these rods the best choice for those anglers who care about the environment. The rod blank development process eliminates any unnecessary material in each section. It also gives us the possibility to monitor power in every part of the blank much more accurately than before.
Due to the success of Guideline's Elevation single hand rods, we have now added a selection of nymph rods to the lineup! These three nymph rods are lightweight with a well-balanced and crisp action. They are all 4-piece rods with down-locking reel seat for great balance and custom designed cork grip and butt. Medium fast flex with sensitive tip section that manages both long casts as well as being protective when fishing thin tippets. Snake guide next to tip guide reduces tangles and line wrapping around guides and blanks.
First stripper guide is placed very close to grip to avoid line-sag and lost control during line management. They have made sure to build the tip with a balanced flex that will cushion violent shakes and bursts from aggressive, large fish even on delicate tippets. The surface of the blank has a matte coating created by using a specially treated shrink tape during production. Due to the spiral pattern, it prevents thin nymph lines to stick to the wet blank and restrict distance when fishing. Summed up these are top modern rods with light feel and an action that suits anglers at all levels.
10ft 2in #2 - The lightest rod in the series that really serves the dedicated angler who wants a delicate and sensitive rod that really handles light lines and tippets. Do not let that fool you though as this rod also has back bone enough to both handle heavier nymphs as well as larger fish, whilst being that sensitive rod that you are looking for in this line weight.
10ft 6in #3 - This rod is with no doubt the most versatile of the three as it still is a fine and light for smaller streams and fishing very thin leaders. But it will also be proper tool for larger fish and bigger rivers as it has a bit more length and strength than the #2 rod has. The little bit of extra power in the blank also gives you a rod that can cast a regular fly line with ease. If the fish would start eating form the surface, it is very nice to be able to present a dry fly properly.
10ft 2in #4 - If you mainly fishing in larger streams or rivers, with bigger and heavier flies, this is the rod for you! Designed to better cover those bigger and tougher waters that normally contains larger fish as well. As it is a bit shorter than the #3 rod it will also work great as a light, all round trout rod and will cast a regular fly line just as great as it will handle thinner leaders.
