Norwich ev4 SALMON FLY RODS

Norwich eV4 Salmon Rods have achieved a world-wide reputation for their exclusive design.

They have for many years been sought after by experienced well-travelled, salmon fly anglers who are looking for high performance, versatile, lightweight and easily-transportable rods.

 

Over the years, several of my rod design innovations have come about through special requests from regular customers for rods which they could not get anywhere else. I have enjoyed the challenge of building these individual custom rods, and have been pleased to find that there has been a substantial demand for these new models.

ev4 Advanced Carbon technology Salmon fly rods encapsulate every recent advance in tubular carbon composite technology.

Developed and Hand-built here in my Scottish border country rod shop. All ev4 Salmon rods are initially field tested on the World famous River Tweed, only a short drive from my workshop.

eV is an abbreviation of "evolution" and a constant quest by David Norwich for "performance."

 eV4 gives the salmon fly angler exclusive hand built high performance light weight  4, 5 and 6 section Salmon fly rods - which will dramatically improve your salmon fishing experience.

ev4 Salmon fly rods are the culmination of my quest to achieve effortless efficient Salmon casting performance. Designed specifically to get the best from recent Spey continuous taper line design, they will also perform equally well with the more traditional double tapered floating or sinking salmon fly lines.
