The next level of XO fly rods. We wanted to bring out the new generation of XO rods but only if we could make significant improvements to the materials. Graphene made this possible. 3 years vigorously testing prototypes and actions lead to the launch of XO Graphene fly rods. When one of these rods is cast for the first time the difference is noticeable right away. Graphene makes it possible to make stronger rods with less material which results in unbelievable strength and the smoothest actions possible.
The long #3 weight rods are made especially for Euro nymphing. They feature a down-locking reel seat for better balance, tight spacing of small single leg guides to prevent line sagging for perfect drag free drifts and our tangle free tip with the top guide being a double leg snake guide. These 2 models are designed together with some of the best competition anglers in the world.
