Built using carbon fiber of military grade modulus and resins, Cortland Competition MKII Nymph Rods have been created and manufactured employing over 30 years of top level competition know-how from the Cortland Prostaff. This new and astonishing range of Euro style nymphing rods were proved broadly at the World Fly Fishing Championships in Vail, Colorado in September 2016, by many of the World’s most successful competition anglers.
The balance of the weight and the main power in the butt section paired with a downward locking reel seat for this technique is paramount. An ergonomic fighting butt provides the correct weight distribution and the necessary control to land the larger fish or assist in long days of fighting fish. The tip section is designed to be extremely light and crisp, yet soft enough to protect the finest tippet and not bounce fish.
The super light weight blank of Cortland Competition MKII Nymph Rods is extremely durable and dampens quickly allowing you to feel bites transmitted through the rod. A unique guide design featuring a lowered shooting guide allows knots to transition cleanly, assist in line control, increase shoot-ability, while preventing vibration and noise. Cortland Competition MKII Nymph Rods comes with an embroidered black cloth sheath and a Cordura orange rod tube.
