GUIDELINE ELEVATION NYMPH: light nymph rods with medium-fast action
environmentally friendly manufacturing
Elevation rods utilize the latest in materials and manufacturing technology, and feature several more environmentally friendly components; these rods are revolutionary.
Following the success of the Elevation series Guideline have added a selection of nymph rods to our range. These three nymph rods are lightweight with a well balanced and lively action. They are 4 piece rods with a down lock reel seat for improved balance and a custom designed cork handle and butt. Medium fast flex with a sensitive tip section that handles both long casts and protection when fishing with fine tips. The serpentine guide located next to the tip ring reduces tangles and line wrapping around guides and sidewalls.
The first ring is placed very close to the handle to prevent line slack and loss of control when managing the line. The tip has a balanced flex that allows to absorb the violent shocks of large aggressive fish, even on delicate tips. The surface of the blank has a matte coating. Thanks to the slightly embossed spiral pattern , the nylon does not stick to the wet blank and does not reduce the fishing distance. In summary, these are modern top-level rods with a light feel and an action that is suitable for anglers of all levels.
// 10'2" #2 // The lightest rod in the series, aimed at the avid angler who wants a delicate and sensitive rod. This rod remains robust enough to handle slightly heavy nymphs as well as nice fish .
// 10'6" #3 // This rod is without a doubt the most versatile of the three because it remains thin and light for small streams and fishing very thin leaders. But it will also be the right tool for bigger fish and bigger rivers because it has a little more length and strength than the #2 rod. That little extra power in the blank also gives you a rod that can cast dry flies with ease.
// 10'2" #4 // If you fish mainly in large streams, with bigger and heavier nymphs, this is the rod for you! Being a bit shorter than the #3 rod, it will also be very useful as a light and versatile trout rod and will cast dry flies just as well.

More environmentally friendly details
- Matte finish, lightly polished, with no added coloring, resulting in a dark graphite gray appearance. Any excess carbon particles are collected in a separate tank before the water is routed to a community cleaning facility. The blank has a soft spiral pattern and a fine, matte coating.
- New improved AAA cork grips with small combat grip without rubber cork reinforcements. This helps reduce epoxy resin levels in the grips.
- The metal parts of the reel seats are "clear anodized", which is the least toxic process possible for aluminum reel seats. We do not use chrome (lead) or paint in the anodizing bath.
- For the coatings on the blank, guides and assembly glue for the handles and reel seat, we use a bio-based, low-toxicity epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also helps to improve the working atmosphere during the assembly phase of production, minimizing odors that are hazardous to health.
- Blanks are mounted with light wire single leg guides and KW type stripper guides. We use a gun smoke powder coating on a stainless steel frame. This is the best durable choice, always hard and without chrome plating (which contains lead)
- Rod bag and rod tube cover are made from recycled REPREVE™ polyester.
- Fishing rod tubes are made of recyclable polypropylene (PP), they are lighter and have 20% smaller diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when transporting the rods both from the factory and by the user. Given its durability and the possibility of melting it down and turning it into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for the production of new products.
