Native Anthem Euro Rod

Here's a top-of-the-line rod from French fly-fishing company, Native. Their leader mono has quickly become a TFF Shop favorite. Here's what they have to say about the rod. Native Fly Fishing fly rods are above all rods adapted to our fly fishing practices: fishing for big fish, fishing in authentic and rustic environments, fishing in competition, dry or nymph fishing with a line... Our approaches are diverse, and the ranges of rods we have chosen to develop are in this image: the right tools for the right approaches. The blanks: All our blanks are rolled in our workshops in Ariège on Toray tablecloths. The development of the rod core is the focal point in the creation of the Native Fly Fishing range. Responsiveness: One of the great strengths of Native Fly Fishing blanks lies in the smoothness of the actions, combined with a very high reactivity and an excellent speed of return of the blanks after compression. This is the driving force behind their ease of use and precision. Actions and powers: For each rod, the targeted application determines the choices made around the actions and powers of each blank. The heart of development is defining the right profiles. We make it a point of honor that each model is developed independently of the others, establishing specific specifications down to the smallest detail. Assembly and comfort: Nothing is left to chance in the editing. The distances of the first rings are studied so that no hindrance disturbs the fishing action. The angles and fittings forces in each range are adapted to the applications. The grips made of AAA cork from Portugal, or carbon made in the USA, are of impeccable quality and offer a perfect grip. The reel seats with double clamping rings, developed by us (with two finishes offered: wood and carbon), perfectly complement and balance the sets, without superfluous weight. The sanded raw blanks and the neat ligatures in natural colors complete the whole for maximum visual and mechanical comfort! All fly rods are delivered in a woven and sewn cover in Ariège, accompanied by an aluminum protective tube. The 10'6#3 is the ultimate all-round rod for tight line fishing. Very responsive in use, progressive in compression, light and perfectly balanced, it has all the optimal mechanical characteristics of a perfect tool. The lightest weights are propelled with ease, the compression angle minimizes stalls during fights as much as possible and protects fine tippets. Its ease of use prevents fatigue during long days of fishing.
