The latest version of the popular Cortland Nymph rods - these rods are a great value, and are excellent European Nymphing tools. Great feel and sensitivity. All the rods are 10'6" models, which gives you a little extra reach and casting range. While they are designed with tightline fishing in mind, these are great rods for fishing indicator rigs and dry flies when the opportunity presents itself. The rods also feature down locking reel seats.
Built from high-modulus, ultra-sensitive graphite blanks, Cortland Nymph Series Rods are weighted toward the butt to help maintain the optimum 45-degree angle that's crucial when tightline fishing, without fatiguing your arm and wrist. The matte black finish helps dampen vibration to prevent shock waves when presenting the fly. Black, single-foot guides are oversized to ease leader knot transfers for fishing short distances and to reduce the overall weight of the rod. The handle is thin, with an ergonomic taper that allows you to touch a finger against the blank for added strike detection. These 4-piece rods include hook keepers and fighting butts with hard cork bottoms. Rods include a cloth rod sock and an optic orange rod case for easy location on the river bank.
