"The Upstream rod series harkens back to the roots of fly fishing, but with modern day materials, components and construction. These small stream jewels cast with old-school elegance, and bend in half while fighting average size trout. Loads of fun! You're going to want to add one of these special rods to your collection."...Bob
DOUGLAS 'UPSTREAM' SERIES FLY RODS - The new Upstream range from Douglas Outdoors brings four unique, ultra-lite fly rods to the river. These are light-medium to full flex action rods that will make you smile as soon as you hold one in your hand, and giggle while landing the first fish. Each rod is designed to have a minimum, but high function approach to bush and upcountry fishing environments (see deflection chart for action comparison). The challenge of both close casting and designing a rod that will control your line, fly and catch with authority, is a balance that Upstream strikes with ease. Each of these high modulus blanks are finished with cork cap, slide-ring reel seats and a natural Tonkin Bamboo color way with clear wraps. Hand fitted spigot ferrules insure a seamless transfer of feel and power between sections. A light weight 1 5/8" brushed aluminum rod tube and sock are included with each rod. Pick up a Douglas Upstream rod and you will want to get on the water and try this new approach to traditional light line angling! Lifetime Warranty.
