Greys GR20 Fly Rod - 8ft6 #5 - 4Pcs

For fly fishermen, there is nothing more satisfying than catching a fish imitatively. The fact that you have identified the right species of fly that is hatching, and by carefully spooning the fish, able to pinpoint the exact fly to use from your fly box. It is a skill in itself because it requires a level of entomological knowledge to identify the fly species in the first place. Similarly, there is also a considerable amount of skill needed in fly rod design because it follows the same principle as it's intended application. To identify materials, actions, and processes that will make the act of fly casting fly line as efficient as possible. Greys have mastered this method and consistently push the boundaries of rod building to produce fly rods that surpass their predecessors - and contemporaries! This is abundantly evident in the Greys GR20 Fly Rod series.

The rod blank is finished in black gloss and is fitted with a hard wearing, AAA natural cork handle. AAA cork gives you a confident grip but promotes sensitivity which is essential when you are trying to control rod tip speed. AAA also helps you detect tugs, and pulls on the fly line when slow retrieving or figure of eight looping.

The GR20 range goes from an 8ft #4 weight 4 piece, which features a half wells handle, to a 10ft #7 weight 4-piece which features full wells handle and fighting butt. The shorter 8ft is ideal for small rivers and light Stillwater use. The 10ft is at the other end of the spectrum and is perfect for larger rivers or Stillwaters, casting heavier lines and larger flies. So whatever type of venue you frequent, there is a fly rod in the range to suit all styles of fly fishing.
