Guideline Elevation Fly Rod
Fly Rod ELEVATION - GUIDELINE
The Guideline Elevation rods feature a sensitive and very stable tip. They forgive beginners' mistakes without sacrificing accuracy. Their resonance helps detect even the lightest takes. These are excellent modern rods, with a lightweight feel and an action that suits anglers of every level.
Record Versatility Across Line Weights
The Elevation range covers every fly fishing need. The #4 and #5 line models are perfect for finesse trout fishing. The #6 version is designed for windy conditions and larger flies. Finally, the #7, #8 and #9 weights are built for targeting pike, salmon, or large migratory fish.
Eco-Responsible Commitment
Guideline has rethought its production process to minimize environmental impact. The matte grey graphite blank is produced without added coloring, reducing carbon particle waste. The use of low-toxicity bio-based epoxy resins and an anodized aluminum reel seat with no chrome or lead reflects a commitment to protecting our aquatic environments from the very start of manufacturing.
