This B.F. Nichols taper bamboo fly rod redefines big game freshwater angling. The precisely calculated diameter progression - transitioning from 0.075" to 0.365" through critical stress points - creates unmatched lifting power against hard-charging steelhead and pike. Mirror-polished 18% nickel silver ferrules ensure seamless energy transfer between sections, while our proprietary six-strip bamboo construction (steam-treated for 72 hours) achieves 98.7% fiber alignment accuracy.
Crafted from select Tokun bamboo culms, the rod features water-based varnish that preserves natural cane aesthetics while providing UV protection. The moderate-fast action excels in delivering size 4/0 deceivers across windy estuaries, with sufficient backbone to turn 20lb+ fish from structure. Standard configuration includes oxblood agate strippers and figured hardwood reel seat, with custom anodized components available through our bespoke service.
