For more than 15 years NEXTackle blanks have been sold in many countries around the world, to flyfishermen and professional rod-builders alike. Consistantly keeping in touch with customers has thaught them that there is an interest in fly rods made with NEXTackle blanks and higher quality components. At the beginning of the project, it was decided to limit the product line to the most popular line weights and lengths on the European market. In the future, there are plans to introduce fly rods for the whole range of our blanks.
NEXTackle fly rods are made of 30T IM6 carbon. This is one of the most widely used materials for fly rods in the industry. It is not the lightest, but it is very reliable. The color of the fly rods is olive-brown, with a fine polish to prevent the blank from scratches.
The action of theese fly rods is progressive, medium-fast, which is done on purpose in order to stand out from the mass produced fast action fly rods and keep the pleasure of casting. Our understanding is that medium fast fly rods allow the use of finer tippets, smaller flies, more precise presentation, and overall, a richer flyfishing experience.
The guides are made by the US company Pac Bay. They are single-legged, hard-chrome, very light, strong and reliable. The stripping guide is double-legged, made by the same manufacturer, single-legged guides because nowadays most European flyfishermen use specialized small diameter fly lines for nymphing and sometimes even monofilament. We use aluminum reel seat made by Sea Guide, which is one of the best fly rod components manufacturer. This type of reel seat has been chosen because it balances the rod much better without compromising the weight. The handle is made of AAA quality cork, and there is also a winding check.
The attention to detail, the long period of testing, the use of high-quality components has paid off. We are proud to present NEXTackle fly rods! If you want to have a fine, balanced, reliable fly rod with a perfect casting, Nextackle fly rod is your choice!
