REDINGTON Olympus 14' #9 Fly Rod (6-piece)

Redington Olympus 14' #9: the most powerful of the Olympus rods

With its 14' length and #9 line weight, this Redington Olympus sits at the very top of the range. It is both the longest and most powerful Spey rod in the series, developed for situations where distance, line control, and power reserve are indispensable.

Its home water: large Atlantic salmon rivers, where its 14 feet allow vast stretches of water to be covered and where its #9 power provides the backbone needed to handle powerful fish.

14 feet to reach the distant lies

Redington presents this Olympus as a rod built for extreme long-range casting. Its 14 feet provide the reach needed to develop efficient Spey casts and cover large rivers where fish can hold well away from the angler.

This length also provides excellent line control during the swing. It allows you to efficiently manage long presentations and guide the fly across broad current seams.

A #9 line weight for the most powerful fishing situations

The #9 line weight places this Olympus at the top of the series. It is designed for powerful fishing systems and situations where a substantial power reserve is required, both during casting and in the fight.

It naturally finds its place in Atlantic salmon fishing, particularly on large rivers where the width of the beat, the currents, and the size of the fish demand a genuinely powerful Spey rod.

Fast action despite its 14-foot length

The Redington Olympus 14' #9 retains the fast action and easy loading characteristic of the range, with fast blank recovery.

This recovery allows the rod to quickly release the energy stored during the cast and helps generate the line speed needed for long-distance presentations. Despite its size and power, Redington aims to preserve a lively, responsive feel.

Nano Resin Technology: mastering weight and power

The Steelhead Green blank benefits from Nano Resin Technology, the new graphite and resin matrix developed by Redington to combine lightness, durability, and responsiveness.

This technology is especially significant on a 14-foot #9 rod. Keeping weight and inertia in check allows the rod to remain more comfortable during long days on the water, without sacrificing the strength and power reserve its intended use demands.

The blank's responsiveness also contributes to control during the fight, when the full power of a large Spey rod must be brought to bear against a salmon.

A 6-piece Spey rod designed for travel

The great distinguishing feature of this Olympus lies in its 6-piece construction. A particularly relevant choice for a 14-foot rod, whose packed size can quickly become problematic when traveling.

This configuration considerably reduces the packed length and makes travel to great salmon destinations far more practical. The Redington Olympus 14' #9 thus combines the dimensions and power of a true big-river Spey rod with a much more travel-friendly format.

Components worthy of its intended use

The Redington premium cork grip features contrasting cork rings at the top and bottom, serving as visual markers for consistent hand placement. The lower grip has a spherical end cap in composite material.

The reel seat combines a synthetic dark walnut-style insert with a laser-engraved sliding ring. The nuts are fitted with nylon inserts to ensure solid reel retention.

The chrome stainless steel guides promote line slip and the alignment dots make assembling the six sections straightforward.

The Olympus for great salmon adventures

The Redington Olympus 14' #9 is the specialist for large rivers and Atlantic salmon within the range. Maximum length, #9 power, and responsive construction give it the means to cover vast beats and take on powerful fish.

Its 6-piece construction adds a particularly interesting dimension for traveling anglers. Once broken down, this large Spey becomes much easier to transport to destinations where a 14-foot rod truly comes into its own.
