BEGINNER PROGRESSION rod 9 feet #5 IM6

A quality fly rod for beginners and progressing

This rod is designed for the discovery of fly fishing and will accompany you for a long time in your progress and the diversification of fishing (river, reservoir/lake). Its standard length of 9 feet (2m70) and its weight of #5 are the most versatile in dry fly if you only have one rod. We advise to start casting to associate it with a line WF #6 (a higher number therefore) in order to facilitate the acquisition of the sensations necessary for a good cast which requires a sufficient weight of line. The rod action is medium/slow and therefore less demanding on casting timing than a fast action rod, which is perfect for learning. The action is not parabolic but of progressive action which avoids an excessive flexibility which would quickly limit the progression.

The rod is meticulously made with the choice of a very robust classic IM6 carbon blank and a reasonable weight thanks to simple but quality components. The presence of alignment points for mounting the 4 sections and a fly hook are real pluses that are very useful in fishing action.

The rod is delivered in cordura tube with reel pocket

We advise you to combine this rod with a WF6 line: this set will be perfect for casting and starting fishing in reservoirs or lakes. The rod works very well as well as one with a DT5 line which will open the door to finer fishing in the river at medium distance.

Our MM1 5/6 reel is an ideal choice to start with this rod. Compatible with lines #5 and #6, it balances this rod well and will save you too much fatigue when casting.
