nám - 9'1" #5 10g+ 4-pcs Delgado

We tried to make this rod so that the full blank would flex but still keep the lowest possible swing weight. We are very pleased with the result. It’s extremely easy to control the line speed due to the direct contact you get with the flyline. Try making an underhand cast with it and you are in for surprise!

There is something very special about the kind of cork we use. In the cork industry they call it “Delgado” which strictly translated means thin or slender. These thin barked trees are not as common as the thick bark trees making it very rare and highly sought after.  Since the cork bark is natural thinner and denser it has many advantages over the thicker cork bark.

Advantages with Delgado:

• Firstly, the pores are much smaller so there is almost no need for filler at all.
• No need for rubber-cork endings making the handle even lighter and still very durable.
• Since the “Delgado” trees are slower growth, the density of the cork material itself is slightly higher resulting in increased transmission of vibration between the blank and the cork, giving you better direct contact with the rod.

How you should read the information on the blank:

Most of us in nám are those typical boring Swedes whom prefer those light lines as noted above. So written on the blank is the typical Swedish light line weight and then we added a plus sign after the gram weight. The plus sign is there to explain that we see it as from this light weight and up, so it’s absolutely okey to add on how much more weight that you prefer. We think our rods can handle much heavier lines then noted on the blank. These rods are designed to be working tools for your most effective fishing session, even if we think that the raw look is also beautiful to look at! So, what line weight is the best line weight on our rods!? we don’t know…
