Nymphing Rod

[Wildfisher]

Been thinking about buying a dedicated nymphing rod. Probably a 10 foot #2 weight. Something with a  softish action that would suit lobbing heavy nymphs on a  French leader.

Think bait fishing with flies - because that is exactly what European style nymph fishing is.   :crap

Don't think I'll use it much so don't want to spend a small fortune.

Any suggestions?

My mate just bought a 10' 2 weight. I'll find out the details think it was £88.

Hard to beat the Hanak Superlights IMO Fred.  Bit more expensive but just that bit nicer than what's currently out there.  Think I still qualify for a 15% discount on RRP...

Good stuff guys, keep the suggestions coming.

That's the one I was talking about burnie, was just going to post the same link 👍🏼 I've not have it a wiggle but my mate says it's a good rod for the price.

These rods appear to be widely available. Let me know what you think of the rod once you have wiggled it!

Cailean Moore, look him up on the upstream nymph on face book, a real gentleman who will give you good advice.

That's him. Were you out today on the outing? I got offered work last minute so couldn't go

My nymphing rod is a 10ft 3# Flextec Streamtec that I picked up for about £45-50 from memory (ignore their daft RRP's of £200+).  Lovely finished rod for the price and a joy to use.  I've also to the same rod in a 6ft 3# for small streams thats like holding a feather, lovely.   And as I have a problem and have 14-15 rods, I've also got one in an 8ft 4#  :lol:
