Loomis&Franklin NX8 10’6ft #2/3

With the NX8 fly rods, Loomis & Franklin is presenting a product that stands out somewhat from their usual marketing decisions. As is already well known, the brand is characterised by the exceptional price-performance ratio of its rods and offers the fly-fishing community great products at truly affordable prices. With this model, Loomis & Franklin is establishing itself in the mid-price range with a fly rod that, given its excellent features, still has a very interesting price.

Unlike previous L&F rod models, the blank of the NX8 is made of a special carbon fibre manufactured in Japan, which significantly increases performance, casting comfort and durability. The perfect interplay of the material with the innovative resins used ensures a fly rod that is characterised by lightness, responsiveness and robustness. A very special braiding of the carbon fibres was chosen for the handle section of this fly rod, which counteracts torsion and thus makes it easier to maintain the casting plane, which in turn has a very positive effect on the length and precision of the casts.

The high-quality cork rod handle and the aluminium reel seat with carbon insert complete the picture of a high-quality fly rod with impressive performance.With the longer versions of the NX8 series, Loomis & Franklin offers great rod models for all fly fishermen who love modern nymph fishing. A fast action combined with a sensitive tip guarantees exceptional performance when Euronymphing, with perfect drift control and direct perception of any takes, however delicate. The two available lengths mean that you can find the right fly rod for both small and medium-sized waters. The 10’6’ #2/3 is a top-quality fly rod for professional fishing competitions.
