Stickman Rods - Fly-Rods

Fly rods

P3 Amber

Is the Amber a classic beauty or futuristic design? Hard to tell. One thing is certain: it looks amazing. Deep, translucent orange wraps with black edging for added contrast, paired with zebrawood or matte clear anodised aluminum spacers. A really eye-catching combination.

The P3 blank:

The idea behind the 9'6" P3 was to develop a longer rod which is great for fishing dries and smaller streamers while remains excellent for euro nymph techniques. The P3 is short and agile enough for the countless false casts necessary for dry fly fishing, it has enough backbone for smaller streamers and traditional nymph techniques while being long and sensitive enough for tight line nymphing. The P3 is probably the most versatile light trout and grayling rod in our lineup. With a simple change of leaders you can switch between the two very different worlds of trout fishing while you won’t have to deal with any drop of performance.

All our rods are hand built to order one at a time and are endlessly customizable. Please make an inquiry on current lead times before placing your order.

Reviews

"I live in the Northeast United States and during summer and winter months often fish small dries in the #18 to 30 range on very light tippet and on medium to large rivers here. I have a number of Stickman rods that have all been exceptional but when Akos recommended the P3 for the light tippet/tiny dry fly situations I have to admit I was skeptical mostly because I don't like rods over 9' unless they are double handers and I only EN on a very limited basis thus I wasn't interested in a dedicated rod for that purpose.

The P3 turned out to be a huge surprise and I think it is one of the most under estimated rods in the line up. This turned out to be a fantastic tool for those summer conditions where I might want to EN for a few hours in the afternoon and but not want to have to run back to the truck for another rod when the hatch starts and don't let the dual purpose fool you , this rod is smooth and will cast a nice loop any trout distance with enough speed to roll out my 14' leader. The butt section has proven to handle some nice size trout too all while protecting that 6/7 X tippet. This rod is a heck of a lot of fun to fish too and if you have a chance to give one a try or just considering the P3, go for it , I think you will be very surprised ! "

"Für mich ist die suche nach der "all in one" derzeit beendet: Stickman P3 macht für mich das rennen."

"I’m extremely happy with my P3 and since June last year all my other trout rods are collecting dust :-) It is an amazing rod for both dry flies and tight line nymphing."
