MARRYAT WISDOM fly rod

Wisdom: balance according to Marryat

True to the meaning of its name, this range is based on a balanced approach, favouring consistency and accessibility over an excessive pursuit of elite performance. The idea is to offer effective, versatile rods at a reasonable price.

• The characteristic Marryat action is found here, known for its progressive taper and great fluidity. This action allows effective absorption and exploitation of two line weights, offering true versatility depending on fishing situations and the angler's preferences.
• All rods are designed in four sections for easy transport. They are fitted with single-foot guides complemented by an alconite stripping guide, ensuring good fly line flow and excellent durability.
• The AAA cork handle measures 165 mm in length with a diameter of 23 mm, ensuring a comfortable and precise grip. The reel seats are fitted with a downlocking configuration across the entire series, with the exception of the 9' model, in order to optimize the specific balance of this reference.
• The Wisdom series thus embodies a considered vision of performance, combining progressive action, versatility and a controlled price point, for an enjoyable fishing experience that is accessible and lasting.

Specifications:

• 9' #4/5: The essential, the fly angler's go-to rod. Its dual line weight allows use throughout the season (rod without fighting butt)
  
• 10' #3/4: This model, all softness and lightness yet retaining a fine responsiveness, offers dry/nymph versatility for summer grayling fishing for example (rod with fighting butt)
• 10' #4/5: This is also a go-to model for a fly angler fishing medium or large rivers. The ability to use two line weights allows the same rod to tackle the start of the season and then low-water periods (rod with fighting butt)
• 10' #6/7: Reservoirs, lakes and chironomid fishing but also large rivers rigged with a WF5! This rod is intended for medium to strong fishing with a good power reserve nonetheless. (rod with fighting butt)
• 10'3 #2/3 NYMPH: Versatile in its possible use for dry fly but also with modern nymphing techniques. (rod with fighting butt)
• 10'6 #3/4NYMPH: With its stripping guide positioned close to the handle, this is immediately recognizable as a specialist nymph rod. The softness of its action over the first two thirds of the blank allows easy propulsion of the leader. This rod is slightly less powerful than its bigger sister in the Tactical Pro series.
