The Linen Series brings exciting innovation to the world of fly fishing. The Linen is a unique fly rod blank made from flax linen, a natural hollow fiber. This material offers a blend of characteristics that make it stand out in the fishing rod market.
Flax linen is known for its lightweight properties and durability. This material can best be described in fishing terms as a hybrid between fiberglass and carbon fiber, providing a unique action and feel. The slower action is similar to fiberglass, but it features quick dampening and recovery akin to carbon fiber. This allows for a responsive casting experience, making it suitable for various fishing conditions.
The rod has a beautiful woody look and texture, enhancing its visual appeal while maintaining functionality. But beauty and action are not enough. Flax is incredibly durable and can withstand high-stress situations, making it ideal for various fishing techniques, including high sticking.
One notable characteristic of flax fiber is that it has some memory. Similar to bamboo, if overstressed, the sections may retain a slight bend that you will not notice while in use and causes no long-term issue. The bend is easily straightened by letting the rod sit flat or gently by hand.
The Linen Series fly rods are 3 pieces and available in 3wt to 7wt. Linen rods include a beautiful agate stripping guide and brown thread with gold accents. Click “Add to Cart” to select rod weight.
