Norwich ev3 "FLATS HUNTER" Saltwater Fly Rods

Saltwater fly fishing is perhaps the most exciting branch of our sport.

The first run of a large Permit or Bonefish can take your breath away as you watch the line disappear nervously - and marvel at the power of these wonderful creations of muscle and speed.

Norwich ev3 "FLATS HUNTER" Saltwater Fly Rods are unique - Completely re-designed and extensively tested through 2008/9 and now completely upgraded with the very latest intermediate T800/05 carbon fiber mix. ev3 Saltwater Blanks are built with a helical-bias inner carbon fiber core for maximum tubular hoop strength. ev3 rods incorporate an intermediate modulus carbon material with a 5% fibre volume orientated at 90 degrees to the uni-directional carbon fibre for even tougher impact resistance. This carbon matrix when allied to the natural exterior tape wrap resin finish and a superior multi coating of UV resistant marine epoxy, gives the Norwich ev3 "FLATS HUNTER" rod  outstanding durability and superior stopping power - allowing you to put maximum pressure on a running fish, without fear of blank collapse.

All ev3 rods are designed to enable comfortable all day casting. ev3 Fly Rods have the necessary taper design to drive tight wind cheating line loops - at close range or distance. The essence for successful saltwater fishing.

When you need to present bulky saltwater fly patterns to easily spooked flats species ev3 Saltwater Carbon Technology will deliver faultless performance.

___________

ev3 rod models rated for # 7-8 lines are for inshore species, Bonefish, Permit, Redfish, and Snook. ev3 rod models rated for # 9 lines are best for bigger Bone Fish, Permit, and are designed for efficient casting with bulky poppers or larger flies in windy conditions.

The new Reduced length RL 8ft 9inch model makes light work of casting a 10 weight line.
