Guideline Elevation Single Handed Fly Rods
The Guideline Elevation is the best fly rod at this price point, delivering unmatched performance, lightweight precision, and effortless casting. Designed for exceptional balance and responsiveness, this rod is an absolute dream to fish with.
Utilizing cutting-edge material and pattern technology, the Elevation series redefines modern fly rod design while integrating eco-friendly components. With a ground breaking rod blank development process, unnecessary materials are eliminated, resulting in a lighter, stronger, and more accurate rod than ever before. The 9’ #5 model weighs just 72g (2.53oz), making it one of the lightest standard rods ever produced by Guideline.
This revolutionary rod series is a milestone in sustainable fly fishing gear, paving the way for greener manufacturing and more responsible production methods.
Features:
- Minimalist Matte Finish: Lightly buffed blanks with no added coloration, featuring a sleek dark graphite grey look.
- Sustainable Cork Grip: Improved 3A cork full-wells grip without rubber cork reinforcements—reducing epoxy resin use.
- Optimized Fighting Butt: Small cork butt on rods up to 6wt; full-size fighting butts from 9’ #7 and up.
- Eco-Friendly Reel Seat: Clear-anodized aluminium components—avoiding toxic chrome and paint finishes.
- Precision Casting: Light wire single-leg guides and KW-style stripper guides for optimal line control.
- Recycled Materials: Rod bag and tube cover made from REPREVE™ recycled polyester.
- Travel-Friendly Design: 4-piece construction for easy transport (except 7'6" #3, which is 3-piece).
