| Nonpareil
/ˌnän-pə-ˈrel/ a. :
Having no match or equal; unrivaled. |
|
This is the rod you will want to
have near at hand at all times.
The Nonpareil will make your dreams of
standing waist deep in
water, rod in hand. From throwing
dries across a still run to drifting
nymphs on dropper rigs, this rod with
its gentle tip softening, smooth
progressive action, internally
tapered hollow built anatomy and
proportionally
stiff butt can generate plenty of
line speed for laying out long quiet
casts or powerfully shooing line. Ask it
to roll cast or mend and it will do
it with finesse and once you get
that trophy fish on the line you'll
have enough rod to get it to hand.
The Nonpareil comes appointed with a
cigar, western, or half-wells grip and either
a sliding band downlocking reel
on the 4wt models or a downlocking
threaded barrel seat on the 5 and
6wt models. SA# 0Mt |

|
| Aurora
/ə-ˈrȯr-ə/ n. :
Luminous phenomenon of the upper atmosphere that occurs primarily at high latitudes. |
|
The
Aurora is a rod that was
designed, tested, redesigned, and
refined in Alaska. It is
at home on larger, faster rivers and
tailwaters holding their distinctive
stout and energetic fish. It
is a faster more powerful rod with
the wood for
making upstream twisting or roll
casts, fast water mending, and
throwing larger flies and weight.
It almost quivers with anticipation
for the strike with its crisp,
snappy hollow-built action yet the
slight softening in the tip will
comfortably cusion even the sharpest
strike; and when the fight is on
there is enough wood in the butt to
keep those "one-in-a-thousand" fish
under control.
The Aurora
is appointed a western or half-wells
grip and either a sliding band
downlocking reel seat on the 5wt
models or a downlocking threaded
barrel seat on the 6 and 7wt models. SA# +1Mt |

| Dry Fly
/ˈdrī-ˈflī/ n. :
An artificial fishing fly that is made to float lightly on the surface of the water. |
|
The Dry Fly is designed for a
specific purpose. Sure, it can
handle all types of fishing, but it
was built from the butt cap through
the tip top as a rod for making
accurate yet delicate
casts with long leaders and fine dry
flies. The unique "Rectangular
Tip Quad"
geometry tactfully graduates
from a standard symmetrical quadrate
(square profile)
in the butt section to a
wider-than-tall rectangular quadrate
shape in the tip. This, plus
the unique internally tapered hollowing process
in both the butt and tip sections
allong with the carefully
crafted compound taper of the rod
proper, gives this rod a smooth,
subtle power and lightness you can
only get from a quadrate while the
rectangular tip resists twisting and
dampens vibrations helping keep your
fly on target and your line level, straight
and quiet. A balance of unique
geometry, internal hollow taper,
an external taper exhibiting a fast
progressive action and a distinct
softening near the tip and, of course,
aesthetics result in a rod I am
especially proud
of.
The Dry Fly
3 and 4wt rod comes standard with a
cigar grip and an all cork reel seat
with sliding band
hardware. The 5wt is fitted
with a subtle western-shaped grip
and sliding band cork core reel
seat. The 6wt comes with a
full wells grip and a downlocking threaded
barrel cork core seat.
Hardware is specially chose and modified for
lightness: Guide feet and tip
tops are trimmed and shortened,
ferrules are truncated, and wraps
are kept to a minimum. SA# +1mT

| Walkabout
/ˈwȯ-kə-ˌbau̇t/ n. :
Wander around from place to place in a leisurely way;
absence from work. |
|
Have you ever wanted a bamboo rod
that would fit inside your backpack
or carry-on luggage? The
Walkabout is just that. Though
it is a
4 piece rod that measures in at 27"
or less disassembled, don't let the
short tube worry you. What is
inside is a perfectly designed
bamboo rod that can
handle a huge range of fishing
situations, from airing out bushy
dries to difinitively mending double nymph rigs.
It is a medium-fast to fast action
rod with truncated ferrules and
built hollow for lightness and to
add a little extra snap to the
action. Portability doesn't have to
mean fishing graphite or sacrificing
feel. The 7wt and 8wt versions are
exceptional for big trout and
steelhead and are also great light-saltwater rods for
targeting those feisty bonefish,
permit or whatever else will hit a
fat streamer in the salt.
The Walkabout comes
with a western or half-wells grip
and either a sliding band
downlocking reel seat on the 5wt
models, a downlocking threaded
barrel seat or uplocking threaded
barrel seat with a short fighting
butt on the 6, 7 and 8wt model.
Titanium RECOIL guides and stripping
guides are used on
the 7 and 8wt models. SA#

| Bantam
/ˈbanˌtəm/ a. :
Of small stature; tiny. |
|
The
Bantam is a diminutive small
stream rod. Its medium-slow full-flexing
action lets the rod load easily
with a supple line and fine leader.
For those delicate, plunge pool
casts or for bobbing dry flies in
creeks that are small enough to step
across. Can comfortably, and
surprisingly, reach out to 50' but
excels in the shorter ranges up to
30'.
The Bantam comes
with full intermediate wraps in clear
or colored to match the highlight
wraps and/or tipping, cigar or western style
grip and an uplocking sliding band
reel seat. SA# -1bM
