LPX Nymph – Technical Characteristics

LPX Nymph rods incorporate cutting-edge technology and redefine high-end rod actions for fly fishing. They offer a distinct and precise action that gradually releases as the rod is loaded.

• Its Medium/Fast Action allows it to have great sensitivity to feel the bites while offering enough power to hook and control the fish.
• Length : 10'8" (approximately 325 cm), for better drift management and control.
• 2 Powers to choose from : Available in #2 and #3 . The #2 model is ideal for fine and light fishing, while the #3 model offers a little more power for heavier nymphs and stronger wind or current conditions.
• Carbon Blank : The LPX NYMPH blank is made of high-quality carbon, offering an excellent compromise between lightness and strength. The technology used in the construction of this blank aims to reduce weight while maintaining a progressive and smooth action.
• LPX Technology : Guideline uses its LPX (Light Performance eXtreme) carbon technology, a manufacturing process that reduces weight while improving the rod's strength and responsiveness. This results in an ultra-sensitive rod while remaining very lightweight.
• High-quality cork handle , providing a comfortable and durable grip. The cork is treated to prevent rapid wear while maintaining its lightness.
• Weight : It is light in hand as well as in actual weight – a 10'8 # rod weighs only 79 grams !
• Matte finish blanks for discreet fishing without sun glare.
• Natural gray blank with a slight green tint, dark green ligatures with gold metallic touches.
• High-end wooden reel seat , with engraved "NYMPH" logo.
• Titanium stripper guides with zirconia inserts. It is ideally placed close to the reel, at 42cm, to prevent sagging of the fly line or monofilament when fishing.
• Down-locking reel seats
• Larger spiral pattern on the blank reduces “line-stick” and friction between the line and the blank.
• Rod cover made of recycled polyester and sturdy polypropylene tube with recycled polyester fabric covering.
• GL ECO-Tech™ technology : no sanding of blanks, avoiding the production of harmful dust.
• Low toxicity resins : glues and varnishes with very low content of harmful substances for a healthier working environment.

CAP M4.0™ Technology – Unmatched Performance and Precision

CAP M4.0™ technology delivers spectacular performance with perfect recovery and exceptional accuracy.

• CAP Technology (Complex Axial Pattern) : layering of carbon fibers arranged at different angles to maximize strength and stability in all directions.
• Unidirectional carbon : an arrangement of parallel fibers ensuring maximum strength in the length direction.
• M4.0™ Resin :
  • Fills spaces in the carbon frame more effectively than conventional resins, increasing strength.
  • Reduces the overall amount of resin required, allowing the construction of lighter blanks than ever before.

The result: an ultra-light, more durable rod that offers instant response to every cast.
