We are haunted by waters!

Our philosophy is that you should use your money for going fly fishing not spending all on equipment. 
Therefore we present this very affordable series of rods; Mastery Reference Series.
70-80% of the market price of modern fly rods, is marketing, but we only offer these rods through our 
web-site and network and can offer top of the line at a very affordable price.

All rods are 4 pieces (good for travelling).

Specifications:
- High modulus graphite, Toray T30, equals the very best in the market, thin and powerful blank.
Every rod is carefully built with a suitable action for the fishing it's intended for. The blank is matt black and has discrete 
windings and the very best rings. A couple of the rods with parabolic action also!
- Grade AA cork handle; two-handed rods: American style handle.
- Nickel silver reel seats and exotic wood on the lighter rods, fly grade aluminium on the heavier ones.
- Delivered in fabric bag and condura tube. Extra tip is standard.

The Reference Series, why the name?

The rods are measured and classified according to the Common Cents System and stiffness/ action-angle are measured.
After measuring every rod, I label the rods, and this label has a reference to the measurements published at this site.
The rods then become a reference with measured stiffness and action-angle, you can compare other rods to. This also helps you choosing the right rod from us.
Several internet sites and fly fishing magazines now test and publish the measurements of rods in their rod reviews.

For 2-hand rods: stiffness of rod multiplied by 0,13 gives you indication of headweight of line, when choosing short-head(belly) spey lines as recommended for shorter spey rods.
