REDINGTON Olympus 11' fly rod line 3

Redington Olympus 11' line 3: the Trout Spey in full finesse

With its 11 feet and line 3 power, this Redington Olympus is the lightweight model of the range. This two-handed rod is designed specifically for Trout Spey, with a program perfectly suited to swing fishing in search of trout. It performs particularly well with soft hackles, wet flies and lightly to moderately weighted streamers. A setup that allows you to explore a river effectively while retaining the feel and pleasure of light tackle.

A fast action that loads easily

The Olympus 11' line 3 features a fast, easy-loading action with fast blank recovery. It thus delivers a precise response on the cast while allowing the angler to naturally feel the rod working. This combination of lightness and responsiveness is particularly valuable in Trout Spey, where quality loading allows casts to be chained smoothly and the fly to be presented effectively across the river.

Nano Resin Technology: lightness and responsiveness

For the Olympus range, Redington uses its new Nano Resin Technology, a graphite and resin matrix developed to produce blanks that are lighter, stronger and more responsive. On this line 3 version, this technology makes perfect sense: it helps keep the rod light and lively, capable of transmitting subtle takes while providing the precision needed on the cast and the backbone essential during the fight.

Components designed for two-handed fishing

The Redington premium cork grip features contrasting cork rings at each end. Beyond aesthetics, these markers make it easier to consistently reposition your hands during casts. The lower grip is finished with a spherical composite piece. The reel seat combines a synthetic dark walnut-style insert with a laser-engraved sliding band. The locking nuts feature nylon inserts to ensure reliable reel retention.

Finally, the chrome stainless steel guides ensure excellent line glide, while the alignment dots make it easy to assemble the rod streamside.

An Olympus dedicated to light Trout Spey fishing

The 11' line 3 opens the Olympus range with a very different program from the models intended for powerful migratory fish. Here, Redington applies the series' qualities of lightness, speed and precision to a true Trout Spey rod, aimed at anglers who want to swing with fine, pleasurable tackle. A particularly interesting rod for covering currents with wet flies and small streamers, while enjoying the sensations that a line 3 two-hander provides.
