Nymphmaniac rods have been designed together with some of the best competition anglers in Europe including Jarkko Suominen, Cato Monsen, Jan Kubala and David Ferreras. They are designed especially for modern nymph fishing techniques. Nymphmaniac meets the requirements of the most demanding anglers in a reasonable price range. Everything on these rods is built with the intended purpose in mind. These have been designed to be as light and as easy to handle as possible. The blank dampens immediately after the stop when casting which is extremely important to sustain proper contact and a feel for light nymphs. New and modern nymph rods have enough power in the tip so hooking a fish is effortless but at the same time they bend enough when a fish is making sudden movements when fighting. Also fighting a bigger fish is not a problem with the powerful butt section of the rod. The perfect nymph fishing setup is completed with the Vision Ultra Light Nymph-line Medium fast action Four piece rods Developed together with our Nymphmaniacs Extremely light and sensitive rods Four piece rods Small and light single leg guides Last guide before tip top is a small snake guide to prevent line...

The LIFT is built on the shoulders of our extremely popular ECHO Base series with updated actions to suit a wider range of casting styles.
Versatile Action and durable construction
The all-rounder for everything from big streamers on the lakes and rivers to inshore saltwater and light work on the flats. A rod for big flies, big fish and big winds - Echo's fastest, most powerful rod we have ever produced
Big game fisheries require a rod that can handle the big stuff. Whether it’s casting chicken-sized muskie flies, fighting heavy winds, or dealing with the fury of a GT, the EPR has delivered.
Extra-fast action and massive power
With its super-fast tip, it will load for short distance shots. When it’s distance or heavy lifting you need to do, its powerful bottom section will more than deliver the goods.
Saltwater angling is more often a game of quick shots than long casts.
Dropping a fly in front of a cruising tarpon 20ft off the bow can be the difference between success and failure during a day on the flats. In fact, most saltwater fisheries put a premium on getting the fly to the target quickly. Redfish meandering about Louisiana marshes, bonefish cruising marl-covered flats, and stripers slashing at bait all require a quick cast into “the zone” for high odds at a hookup.
The quicker you can lay the fly down, the better the results. Sage’s new MAVERICK has been designed to maximize these quick-shot opportunities with a powerful tip section that drives the casting load down to more robust lower sections, making it easier to fire these quick efficient casts and helping the angler make the most of their finite opportunities.
With a true saltwater specific backbone and design, the MAVERICK is ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.
2022 marked the launch of the Horizon NITRO fly-rod series. So what exactly is the NITRO fly-rod series? It’s a completely new range of rods that will redefine fly-rod performance – these rods have the performance of a top-end, American-made fly-rod at a fraction of the price. The prototype sample rods were tested by Anton Hartman, one of the best casters of a fly-rod in South Africa,
If you’re looking for a stillwater rod that will let you cast to the horizon or pump a long cast into the teeth of a wind, then these are the rods for you. These rods are refinement personified! These rods are fast actioned (as are almost all modern day fly-rods) but are not broom poles!
2022 will see the addition of three new models to the Horizon NITRO fly-rod line-up – two Euro Nymphing rods and an all-round largemouth yellowfish/saltwater rod.

The Sage R8 Core is a rod family focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through our forward thinking lens of what we’re seeing out on the water where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its Core, R8 CORE traces a direct lineage to Sage’s multi application vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target. Coming in a range from 3wt to 9wt, with a variety of lengths from 8’6” to 10’0”, there’s sure to be a model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler. Finding that state of fishing in the moment, where instinct and experience bring us to an almost zen-like awareness of each subtle motion and movement – that’s what the Sage R8 is all about. It’s not a race or a competition, but a state we all aim to reach out on the water. With R8 technology Sage enhances that two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control. H E I G H T E N E D F...
