NT8 Series Fly Fishing Rods by Guideline

Characteristics NT8 Fly Rods

We have opted for two versatile, light and strong 9’ rods in line weight 7 & 8, aimed at saltwater fishing and fishing for large trout and salmon in rivers or lakes.

We also introduce two new light and strong Switch models in 11’9 #7/8 and 8/9. Given the length, these rods are best suited for light double-handed work, but because of the light swing weight, they can also be managed as a long single hander.

The double handed models are based on our most popular sizes; 12’9 #8/9 – 13’9 #9/10 and 14’9 #10/11 with the addition of a 15’9 #10/11 rod suited for large rivers, long distance casts and huge fish.

NT8 Fly Rods Guideline

All our NT8 rods, including the Fario models, use an ultra-elastic IM8-46T Low Resin Material which makes it possible to create feather-light blanks with a crisp feeling that greatly improves sensitivity.

Together with this, we use a carbon-scrim material with a proprietary BIAS Cross Construction structure. This produces a lightning-fast recovery speed, increases the casting distance and improves the compression strength. This construction also excels in one other way.

You will definitely be amazed at the ability these rods have to fight and overpower fish with little force. High-strength Nano-resin graphite improves the toughness and increases durability in the rods.

Casting and fish-fighting cause countless amounts of flexing and unloading of the blank, the Nano-material prevents damage due to external shocks, internal stresses or fatigue. the material properties implemented into our nt8 blanks can be described with these simple words; durability, low weight and crispness.

These rods are State-Of-The-Art and will deliver the best possible Guideline performance across the range.
