NT11 Lake & Anadrome

Identified by the comfortable medium/fast full flex, these three rods behave very well with overhead as well as Scandi- and Skagit-style casting. Designed mainly for shooting head type fishing but will also work well with shorter head WF lines, such as ULS and Bullet.  

10’ #6 14-16 gr/215-245 grains A rod for Trout, Sea Trout and Salmon in smaller rivers and with small to medium sized flies. It works absolutely beautiful with our ULS system of lines in the #6/7 line-weights (16gr) and matched with the ULS 6/7 Multi Tip WF line, you have a great set-up for the purpose. It also handles the 3D Compact Heads in 17gram weight very well, but this is right on the upper limits of the rod, especially when paired with a larger tube or streamer.  
 
10’ #7 17-19 gr/260-290 grains Probably the best performing 10’ #7 rod we’ve ever created! Comfortable with larger rivers and longer distance casting than the above version. It also manages wind and bigger flies with ease. Loves a 4D Compact Multi Tip #7/8 SH 19g and also casts super with the 3D Compact 17gr and 19gr Heads in various densities. For the angler that wants an integrated shooting line, the ULS WF Multi Tip in #7/8 (18gr) will be a great choice.   

10’ #8 19-21 gr/290-220 grains Will never let you down! The ultimate big fish rod for single hand salmon and big sea trout. The power this rod unleashes must be experienced to be understood. Light in the hand, yet with unlimited resources both when casting and fighting large fish. It is optimized to work together with our 4D and 3D Compact Series of lines in the 19- to 21 grams window but will manage a 23 grams line for those who prefer water-born Skagit type casting style work.

NT11 rods use an ultra-elastic 46T Low Resin Material which makes it possible to create feather-light blanks with a crisp feeling that greatly improves sensitivity. Layers of T1100 graphite with extremely high tensile- and compression strength are then added both on the inside and outside of the 46T material, creating an incredibly strong wall and foundation for unmatched performance, durability and reliability in the blanks. Together with this, we use a carbon-scrim material with a proprietary CAP (Complex Axial Pattern) with 0, 45, 90 and -45 degrees, Cross Construction structure. This produces a lightning-fast recovery speed, increases the casting distance and improves the compression strength. High-strength TORAYCA NANOALLOY®-resin reinforced graphite improves the toughness and increases durability in the rods.

Casting and fish-fighting cause countless amounts of flexing and unloading of the blank, the Nano-material prevents damage due to external shocks, internal stresses or fatigue. The material properties implemented into our NT11 blanks can be described with these simple words; EXTREME DURABILITY, LOW WEIGHT and UNMATCHED RECOVERY SPEED. Making a strong blank while making it extremely light is the ultimate goal of fishing rod development. But in a standard manufacturing process, a rod runs the risk of breaking too easily if it is light and with thin walls. It also often becomes too heavy if it is built to be strong enough. The properties and the performance in our NT11 rods are difficult to imitate by ordinary manufacturers as we use the best available materials together with the best available manufacturing- and reinforcement-technologies to achieve an ideal structure in the blanks.
