The XTZ ADIXION represents the next evolution of our XTZ series, a Euro-nymphing rod designed to exceed the expectations of the most discerning anglers. Lightweight, highly reactive, and paired with an innovative handle concept, it delivers precise presentations, unmatched sensitivity, and quickly becomes addictive for every tight line enthusiast.
The XTZ ADIXION features a revolutionary handle and reel seat design, composed of an EVA grip and a hand-woven carbon reel seat, both merged together into a single unit. This seamless integration not only provides comfort and tactile feedback, but also enhances sensitivity by transmitting blank vibrations directly to the hand. The thumb cutout in the EVA grip provides one of the three main contact points, allowing direct blank feedback while keeping full comfort. The shortened handle length allows the index finger to easily reach the blank, while the hand rests close to the reel, giving a new balance sensation. The rod feels lighter overall, rotates more naturally, and allows more precise control during casts and drifts.
The repositioning of the handle and reel seat serves a dual purpose: it improves reach, enhancing casting distance and drift control, and makes semi-automatic reels easier to operate due to improved lever access. The combination of these features creates a new balance experience unlike anything previously seen on a nymphing rod.
The hand-woven carbon reel seat also functions as the fighting butt and houses the “Adjustable Weight Balance System”, which was carefully developed in collaboration with our friends at ZMK and is produced in Slovenia. This system contains three individually removable weights, allowing anglers to fine-tune the rod’s balance with unmatched precision. The invisible thread creates a clean, uninterrupted look—while the exceptional grip of the hand-woven carbon itself ensures rock-solid reel stability, far exceeding conventional aluminum reel seats.
The XTZ ADIXION blank is built from multidirectional Toray carbon using our signature X-Torzion technology, which neutralizes torsion and keeps the rod perfectly straight under load, ensuring consistent control during casts and fights. Thanks to new pre-preg carbon sheets and an even thinner tip section, the blank is lighter, crisper, and more responsive, improving sensitivity and finesse. As in our previous XTZ series, we chose an unsanded blank, which minimizes line sticking in wet conditions and eliminates the need for mono-wrapping. The matte finish adds a subtle stealth look, with its slightly rougher surface providing minimal additional benefit against line adhesion.
The rod features a 12+1 guide layout, consisting exclusively of single-foot guides to preserve the blank’s full bending curve. This includes one additional stripping guide compared to the previous XTZ generation. The two stripping guides feature titanium frames with SIC inserts, while the remaining ten guides and the top tip guide are ultra-light wire stainless steel, ensuring smooth line flow and protecting delicate mono leaders from abrasion. The specific guide spacing is designed to minimize line slag and safeguard fine mono leaders during strong fights.
The XTZ ADIXION comes with a triangular Cordura-covered rod tube, designed to provide safe and organized transport. The tube is divided into four compartments, one for each blank section, keeping the sections protected and separated during travel. Included with the rod is a small aluminum container for the three weights of the Adjustable Weight Balance System, ensuring they are securely stored and easily accessible whenever needed.
The 10ft line 1 perfect for small streams and delicate presentations, ideal for dry-dropper (tandem) setups or anywhere subtlety is required. With its wheigt of only 75 g, it becomes the lightes rod we ever build . Ideal nymph weight range (tungsten beads, approx. 2.0mm–4 .0mm) suitable for trout and grayling up to 50 cm or +/- 2kg The super fine tip of this rod acts almost like a solid tip, it not only has an imense tippet protection if used with mono line, but allows you to cast dry flies or dry-dropper setups simply by using a degressively tapered leader, paired with an Euro-Nymphing line, ofcourse you can also use floating line DT or WF #2 for dry fly fishing. Thanks to the new handle design, this 10ft rod effectively performs with a slightly extended reach compared to others, the extra reach is equivalent to a 10 ft 3 in (312 cm) rod.
The 10ft line 2 is the ideal rod when ever you want to be versatile, on small or medium large streams and rivers, ideal for all kind of Euro-Nymphing setups. Weighing 79 g, its just slighty heavier than the line 1, which is still amazing considering the extra power the line 2 offers in comparison. Ideal nymph weight range ( tungsten beads approx. 2.3mm-5.5mm ) Paired with a WF fly line #2 or #3 it becomes a very interesting dry fly rod, opening up playful options beyond nymphing. Thanks to the rod’s design, it effectively performs with a slightly extended reach equivalent to a 10 ft 3 in (312 cm) rod. Extremely fun to fish for trout of all sizes, even trophy size…making it ideal for any situation or water conditions.
The 10.6ft Line 2 is our all-rounder and bestseller, perfectly suited for any water size, from small overgrown streams up to large rivers, allowing to switch from a mono line nymphing or light jig streamer setup, to an indicator rig or Dry Fly setting, within seconds. Compaired to the previous XTZ series, the ADIXION weighs only 85 g, about 10% lighter whithout sacrificing power reserves, the weight gain becomes especially noticeable in longer fishing sessions. Ideal nymph weight range ( tungsten beads, approx. 2.5mm-5.5mm) The rod loads easily with a WF fly line #3, the 10.6ft providing excellent performance for long overhead casts or roll casts and precise presentations. With its refined tip section, the ADIXION allows the use of ultra-fine tippets, reducing hook-outs on smaller trout or grayling, while the powerful butt section provides ample reserve for handling large trout beyond 60 cm. Extremely versatile, this rod combines sensitivity and strength, making it a true big fish hunter that can handle delicate presentations as well as trophy fish alike. Its effective length feels like 10 ft 9 in (327 cm) due to the new handle design.
The 11.0ft Line 2 is designed for large rivers and demanding fish, the extra lenght making it a strong choice for competition anglers where the Euro-Nymphing line is mandatory and the leader length is limited to two rod lengths. Weighing 87.8 g, it is a real light weight in its categorie, even lighter than the previous 10ft XTZ!
Long sessions without fatigue are the result. Ideal nymph weight range ( tungsten beads, approx. 2.3-5.5mm) Thanks to the repositioned handle and reel seat, the rod feels like an 11 ft 2 in (341 cm) rod, giving anglers extra reach and superior drift control, this model is designed to use with mono line or euro nymphing line exclusevly. With its powerful butt section and long leverage, this rod efficiently handles large trout, absorbing rushes and head-shakes with ease. Ideal for targeting trophy fish while maintaining thin tippet diameters.
