SHAPING 8 REVOLUTIONS IN HOW WE FISH

R8 TECHNOLOGY

The advanced, leading-edge material behindR8 enables us to shape a rod with a stiffer, stronger backbone but a moresensitive tip and more connected feel. The secret is twofold. First, aproprietary aerospace composite with a greater hoop strength enables us todimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip—while anano-sintered resin application increases axial resilience and allows us topack more fiber into the blank, resulting in that true two-way connection fromhand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control.

NEW AXIAL FIBERFORMULATION

Advancednano-sintered resin application and a more resilient axial fiber allow us tore-profile the dimensional taper to get thicker quicker from tip to butt -resulting in better energy transfer and greater feel. Simply put - a better andmore efficient "wiring" of energy.

EFFORTLESS ENERGYTRANSFER

Elongated energytransfer shifts the sweet spot closer to the hand creating a more naturalextension of your arm for greater range, quicker reactivity and less wastedeffort.

NEW CIRCUMFERENTIALHOOP FIBER

Advanced hoopfibers hold blank in optimal cylindrical shape creating greater circumferentialstrength - continuously maintaining inherent taper profile while activelyengaged or under tension.

MADE IN THE USA

We’renot a big faceless factory, but rather a workplace of craftspeople who designand build the world’s best fly rods and reels using our hands and hearts. We doit by sharing ideas and always asking the next question to find what can bedone to make this better. Our rods are built one at time right here onBainbridge Island, WA, following hundreds of meticulous steps and passingthrough 23 sets of hands. We’re out there fishing the same places in the sameunforgiving conditions that you are. Craftsmanship is applied experience.
