Stoked features the latest in material patterns and production technology, allowing us to create entry-level rods at a game-changing level. When the development process was complete, we were so impressed that we just had to call them what we felt - Stoked. The Stoked series also features many of the same eco-friendly components as the Elevation, providing a good incentive for the environmentally cautious angler.

Compared to the Elevation, these rods feature a slightly lower modulus carbon (24T/30T/36T vs. 36T/40T), making them easier to cast for beginners and more forgiving for casting errors. Yet, these are light and responsive rods with an action and feel associated with rods at a much higher level of performance and price. The rod action is medium-fast with a sensitive and stable tip. The bend is progressive down the blank, giving you a great feel, and allowing you to easily connect to the rod for all types of casts.

Highlights

Blanks are painted in a translucent olive green color with a hint of metallic flakes.
New, improved full wells grips without rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy-resins needed in the grips.
For the coatings on blank, guides, and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, we use a bio-based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better working atmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odors to a minimum.
Rods are mounted with light hard chrome guides.
Rod bag and rod tube cover are made of recycled REPREVE™ polyester.
The rod tubes are made of recyclable Polypropylene (PP). They are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user. Given its durability and the possibility to melt and reform into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods.
All rods are 4-piece.

Model info

Stoked 8'6 #4, 9' #5 & 9' #6: The 4 and 5 wt are typical all-around trout rods for dries, nymphs, and lighter streamers. The 6wt is the choice for bigger flies, larger fish, and windier conditions—a great option for lighter coastal fishing too.

Stoked 9' #7-8-9: These are typical rods for heavier fishing targeting migratory trout, pike, salmon, seatrout, and bonefish. These rods are suitable for rivers, lakes, coastal, and flats fishing, where big fish and demanding conditions are common. Reel seat with butt.

Stoked 9'6 #6-7-8: This rod length is a great compromise and a favorite among many for lake, coast, and river usage targeting trout, seatrout, and salmon. The slightly longer rod compared to a 9ft provides better reach in the river and height when deep wading or fishing from a boat or float tube. Due to a slightly deeper bend in the action compared to the 9ft, this length is easier to use for Spey casting and with shooting heads when river fishing. Yet, it is not as long as a 10ft rod and will be less affected by the wind when coastal fishing, providing more power for these weather-exposed fishing places. Reel seat with butt.

Stoked 10' #6-7: These rods are the favored length for classic lake fishing from both boat and bank. They are also an excellent choice for river fishing targeting trout, sea trout, and salmon. Reel seat with butt.
