18% nickel silver ferrules integrated with 6-strip Tokin bamboo construction ensure optimal energy transfer and durability
Optimized for 15-30ft precision casting in log-jammed brooks and boulder-strewn river sections
Comes standard with water-based varnish finish (optional unfinished version for custom treatments)
Ideal for presenting #16-18 dry patterns like Adams or Elk Hair Caddis in technical streams
This bamboo fly rod blank recreates the legendary Orvis Battenkill Deluxe taper for technical stream environments. The 6-strip Tokin bamboo construction with 18% nickel silver ferrules maintains traditional sensitivity while delivering precise short-range casting through its 0.075"-0.271" progressive taper. The refined 0.075"-0.18" taper over the first 40" enables gentle presentation of #18 dries, while the reinforced 0.18"-0.271" lower section provides authority when battling 12-18" trout or smallmouth bass in confined waters.
Pre-finished with protective water-based varnish (unfinished option available), this blank features precisely positioned nickel silver ferrules ready for guide installation. Designed to perform with 4-5wt WF floating lines, it embodies the perfect marriage of classic bamboo craftsmanship and modern fly fishing demands in obstacle-rich Eastern freestone streams or Midwestern spring creeks.
