Barder Rod Co 9′ #5-weight 4-piece carbon fibre fly rod.

Custom built to our peerless high standards on a superb CTS Affinity-X blank, this rod is a fine all rounder. Capable of absolutely precise fly placement from point blank to eighteen yards+. With no shortcomings, this nine foot five weight is exceptionally light, durable and a pleasure to fish with.

At its best with a weight forward #5-weight line such as the Scientific Anglers Mastery MPX, the Rio Gold or the Airflo Superflo Ridge Universal Taper -pause for breath- it will load immediately for close in casts and launch a mayfly to the fish rising under that tree on the far bank with ease.
