Frantisek HANAK has been developing fly rods for years in close cooperation with the best Czech competitors. In 2013, he was manager of the World Champion National Team in Norway.
The Alpen rods are the result of these developments and the experience of competing at the highest level.
These rods are designed for fine nymph and dry fly fishing.
The rods are available in 4 lengths in one rod, depending on the parts used, you will have a 9'6" (290cm), a 10' (304cm), a 10'6" (319cm) and finally an 11' (335cm). This modularity allows the length of the rod to be adapted to the type of fishing and to the different courses. A very sensitive tip for fine and subtle fishing provides a fast but progressive and smooth action, with the power reserve needed to fight big fish. These rods are accurate with a healthy action and a balance that facilitates fishing under the rod.
The Alpen Hanak series of fly rods are the tool of choice for all types of fly fishing including fishing under the rod, Czech nymphing and all technics used in Euro NYmphing style. They are also comfortable for sight casting, dry fly fishing and their softness makes them a candidate for wet flies fishing. In short, these rods are suitable for nymphing but are very versatile. Delivered in cordura tube with model identification and compartmentalized cover, 2 years warranty, 65€ flat rate for replacement of elements.
