The Loomis & Franklin NX8 series has been designed with great attention to technological aspects and performance characteristics, so as to offer exceptional performance, comfort and durability, re-presenting a high-quality choice for fly fishing enthusiasts. The use of a new type of Japanese carbon with a high modulus of elasticity and innovative resins has contributed to obtaining superior lightness, reactivity and general resistance of the rod. The presence of a special car-bon weave, in the area above the handle grip, generates unparalleled reactivity; furthermore, it counteracts the torsion induced in the blank by the actions that prepare the projection of the fly, greatly improving the distance and precision of the cast. Handling, elastic response and sensitivity of the rod are revolutionized. The high quality handle corks indicate particular attention to detail and comfort during use, ensuring a firm and comfortable grip when casting and fighting fish. The choice of 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum reel seat, with high modulus carbon insert, achieves a combination of lightness and strength to support the reel effectively.
9’ LINE #4 - 9’ LINE #5 Versatility is a key feature: these rods can handle a wide range of fishing techniques, from dry fly fishing to wet fly fishing and even long nymph fishing, in different situations, from mountain’s streams to large rivers. The Fast action offers a sharp and powerful response.
9’6” LINE #2/3 - 9’6” LINE #3/4 A balanced compromise between the standard 9’ and 10’, this rod offers exceptional versatility. When fishing for dry flies, the extra length keeps the line off the surface of the water, reducing the risk of scaring fish. When fishing for nymphs, the extra length improves line control in currents.
10’ LINE #2/3 - 10’6” LINE #2/3 Ideal for modern nymph fishing, these rods offer exceptional speed of action and sensitivity to shiny bites. The 10’ rod is more manoeuvrable in tight environments or calm waters. The 10’6” model offers superior control and precision and it is a great ally for competition. Outside of competition, these rods will satisfy the most demanding anglers.
10’0” LINE #7/8 It is the perfect length and line weight combination for still water fishing, even on very large lakes, or in any other situation where you need to cast the fly along distance to be successful, or where the fish are scattered in deep water.
