Specialty Rods for Stream Fishing

Stream fishing is an art form, and you need the right rod to get the most out of it. What we've found in the market is high priced rods from a few makers, that just don't give enough for what you pay for them. We looked at designing trout and salmon rods, and found that we can make an incredible rod that doesn't price itself out of your reach. Starting at $99.99, you'll wonder if we forgot a digit in the price somewhere.

Spiral Helix Carbon Fiber

Back in 2007 we devised a technique for rolling blanks that involved using two different carbon fiber prepreg cloths, and assembling them on the mandrel that resulted in very unique properties. This technique is what allowed us to produce ultra-lightweight blanks, with tips of varying degrees of softness - without being brittle. We called it Spiral Helix Carbon Fiber, and it's a very real method to making our unique blanks. We're confident enough to put our blank quality, sensitivity, and actions up against rods costing 2 and 3 times more, and come out ahead.

For the Addiction product lines, we returned to this method of rolling blanks. We had great success with it in the past, and it offers the best chance of producing the exact action we were looking for with each specifically designed model.

Pac Bay TiCH Deep-Pressed Guides

We needed a lightweight, but super-durable guide with a low-friction ring to get the job done. The frames are 100% stainless steel, with a unique ring seating design that holds the TiCH vapor-coated Zirconium ring under even the highest loads. Your line will glide over the rings with so little friction, you'll cast farther, and feel less line vibration and drag.

Natural Cork Handles

Natural cork is the standard, and we keep the tradition alive with high-grade natural cork tapered handles.

Multi-Piece Aluminum Fly Seats

Our new aluminum fly rod reel seats are so lightweight and solid, you'll never even know they are there.

Contoured Reel Seats

Most people don't think about their reel seat unless it's giving them problems. We thought about it before it gives you a problem, and what we found is there's no substitute for a reel seat that can accomodate all your reels and be able to hold them securely. We tested our new heavy duty reel seats with dozens of reels, and found they all locked down tightly, and easily.

Precise Hand-Tailored Actions

No feature of a rod is more important and personal than the action. If you don't like it, or it doesn't suit the use of the rod, you won't like using that rod and it isn't going to help you land fish. With all our design consultation, we were flooded with opinions on what rod people really thought had the best action. We ended up testing them all on our deflection table in the lab, marking each one carefully, then coming up with our own unique curve that incorporated some of the more important characteristics of each. The result is each of our rod actions is so unique, you will not find it anywhere else on the market. We're also sure you'll like it so much, you won't be able to put it down. That's been the result in closed field testing.
