Fly rods

P5 Amber 8'6


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 P5 8'6" blank:

8’6” 5 weight, the classic trout rod. We develop every rod model with utmost care but this one had to be special. The original plan was to make a shorter version of the very popular 9’ P5, but the project has turned to be unique. The 8’6” P5 is slightly more agile than its 9’ sibling but incorporates similar versatility and is a true to weight rod of course. It has the same incredibly wide optimal casting range as the 8’6” P4 and a similar bending curve too. It is the optimal choice for mid-sized trout rivers as an all round rod. Compared to the 9’ P5 is has an even lighter swing weight but is capable to do most tasks you expect an all-round trout rod to do: dry flies, nymphs, smaller streamers.

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.
