Norwich ev4 SALMON FLY RODS

Click the image for Custom Option Information 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.
