Competition fly rods.

Bloke “Excess” range.

These are high performance distance casting rods and definitely not for the faint hearted! They are exceptionally fast! In the right hands and with the right shooting head extreme distances are possible. Built in accordance to the regulations specified by the British Fly Casting Club.

9’ 5wt 4-piece - £289
(The BFCC record for this line weight is currently 130’9” held by Paul Arden)
9’ 7wt 4-piece - £289
(The BFCC record for this line weight is currently 141’8” held by Mike Heritage)
9’6” T38 2-piece - £325
(The BFCC record is 209’8” held by Peter Thain)

The T38 blank may be a beast when it comes to distance but it is surprisingly light, weighing only 3.35oz. If you can double haul competently and by using a balanced shooting head, with light STREN running line, a 50 yard cast would be your starting distance!!

We offer two day residential courses on distance casting throughout the year, please contact us for details.
