Guideline Rivolt Double Handed Fly Rod - #8/9 13'

The Rivolt rods are the perfect choice for beginners and enthusiasts who want great value, or for anglers in need of a “second priority” or spare rod. This series is a further development of the former Stoked range, with improvements in both casting and fishing performance, as well as in materials and tech- nology. These are fantastic rods at a very affordable price — high-value products that still perform at a high level. The series includes what we call the “key models” and covers a wide variety of fishing styles. Rivolt rods are built with high-quality guides, reel seats, and cork handles that provide a premium feel at a great price.The blanks are unpolished, which not only creates a “high- tech” visual effect but also reduces swing weight and enhances the crisp feel of the rod when casting. From an environmental perspective, this is also beneficial, as no carbon dust is produced during manufacturing. Each rod comes in a high-quality tube and bag made from recycled materials. The single-hand rods in the Rivolt series have a mid-to-tip flex, making them easy to cast and giving them a very light, crisp feel thanks to the lightweight tip section. The double-hand rods have a bit more power in the tip section, giving them a primarily mid-flex action and making them perfect for all types of Spey casting.Double handThe Rivolt double-handed rods come in two models, considered by many to be among the most versatile lengths and line weights for salmon and other anadromous species in rivers around the world.The 13’ #8/9 is perhaps one of the best all- round double-handed choices, as it’s light enough for smaller rivers yet still capable of handling high and heavy water. It’s also an excellent choice for steelhead in larger river systems.The 14’ #9/10 covers most larger rivers and high-water conditions. It easily handles heavy sinking lines while still providing a delicate feel when fishing a fully floating line.
