The Clearwater 2-Weight 10&'; Fly Rod is specifically designed to enhance European nymphing tactics. Its light sensitivity and reach offer the perfect rod for maintaining contact with a multiple-fly nymphing rig. Given the new popularity of this technique, the Clearwater 102-4 coupled with a Tactical Nymph line is an exceptional outfit offering reduced line sag and better contact for quicker reaction to subtle takes. The new ClearwaterA(R) Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value. It&';s still the best fly rod you can buy for the money, but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers. Each rod was designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods. 10&'; 2-weight Blanks are black chrome with white accents Quick rod identifier on the blank Chrome snake and stripping guide with a ceramic insert Full black nickel aluminum reel seats Rods with fighting butts have composite tips for durability Comes with gray rod tube 25-Year Guarantee Designed in Vermont Imported
