Taniwha TNH 103 10 ft #3 nano helix fly rod
A great all-round river rod for general upstream nymph and dry fly fishing in European conditions. It combines a sensitive tip with plenty of feel and feedback with a tippier action and strong butt and mid-section, a light and lively rod with real zip.
Rated #3 by the manufacturer it casts a #4 line equally well and would also be suitable as a light stillwater or upland lochan fishing rod in calmer weather. Sufficient power and tip strength for larger beadheads, duo rigs and even smaller weighted streamers.
Very light rod just 82g or 2.9oz with a stabilised wood insert. Blank weight 44g (1.5 oz)
Taniwha Nano-helix high modulus carbon fibre fly rods (4-piece).
Taniwha Rodworks exclusive. Supplied with a good quality black polycotton rod sock, and a black cordura rod tube.
Fast-medium to fast action high modulus fly rods. Premium quality blank, cork and components with reel seat custom options.
The TNH series incorporates high-modulus, uni-directional carbon fibre pre-preg wrapped on a helical carbon fibre scrim with the latest nano resin adhesives for optimum strength to weight performance, hoop strength and blank recovery speed.
The result is a very light, slim, strong and sensitive blank with fine tips, plenty of feel and fast tip recovery., Most of the flex is in the top third of the blank (mid-tip to tip flex action depending on the model) and they are a delight to cast and fish with good power reserves for longer casts.
The blank colour is midnight, a smoky slate blue-grey with a satin low flash finish.
