REDINGTON Olympus 13 fly rod line 7

Redington Olympus 13' line 7: finesse and power for large rivers

With its 13' and line 7 power, this Redington Olympus is a truly versatile Spey rod, designed to perform on large steelhead and salmon rivers. Redington sought here to combine two essential qualities: enough finesse to keep the rod pleasant and precise, and the power needed to cover wide stretches and handle strong migratory fish.

A rod built for large rivers

The 13-foot length offers an excellent compromise for fishing situations where distance and line control become essential. It allows you to efficiently cover wide stretches of water and accompany the swing on long drifts. This length also provides greater control for managing the line and presenting the fly at distance. A real advantage on large rivers where you regularly need to reach fish far from the bank.

A line 7 between finesse and power reserve

With its line 7 power, this Olympus retains enough finesse for a pleasant fishing experience while offering a serious reserve when heavier systems or big fish need to be handled. It is designed to target large steelhead and salmon, with a versatile enough program to adapt to very different rivers and conditions.

A fast action that loads easily

The Olympus 13' line 7 features the fast, easy-loading action with quick recovery developed by Redington for this range. This action efficiently generates line speed and delivers accurate casts, while maintaining an intuitive loading feel. The blank's fast recovery adds crispness to the cast and contributes to line control at distance.

Nano Resin Technology: a light and responsive Spey

The Steelhead Green blank is built around Redington's Nano Resin Technology. This new graphite and resin matrix aims to combine lightness, strength and responsiveness. On a 13' Spey rod, the weight savings directly contribute to comfort during long days on the water. The blank remains lively and responsive on the cast, while providing the backbone needed to control a powerful steelhead or salmon during the fight.

Components designed for two-handed fishing

The Redington premium cork grip features contrasting cork rings at the top and bottom. These visual markers make it easier to consistently reposition your hands cast after cast. The lower grip is finished with a spherical composite end cap. The reel seat combines a synthetic dark walnut-style insert with a laser-engraved sliding band. The locking nuts are fitted with nylon inserts to hold the reel firmly in place.

The chrome stainless steel guides ensure excellent line glide, while the alignment dots simplify rod assembly.

An Olympus to cover the water

The Redington Olympus 13' line 7 comes into its own on stretches where you need to cover large expanses of water in search of migratory fish. Its length provides the reach and control needed on large rivers, while its #7 power strikes an interesting balance between fishing finesse and the capacity to handle big fish. A versatile Spey for the angler who wants a rod capable of adapting to a wide range of steelhead and salmon waters.
