Fly rods are specialized tools designed for different fishing styles and techniques.

Euro Nymphing rods, typically longer and stiffer with sensitive tips, excel at precise presentations for subsurface nymphing. Their longer length and stiffer action provide greater sensitivity, allowing anglers to feel subtle takes more effectively.

Dry Fly rods, on the other hand, are often shorter and more flexible, offering a smooth, graceful action for delicate presentations of dry flies on the surface. This flexibility and slower action allows for accurate casts and gentle line control, crucial for enticing wary trout to rise.

Streamer rods are built for power and distance, designed to cast heavy streamers and turn over larger flies effectively. These rods feature a fast action, with the bend concentrated in the tip section, providing the necessary power to cast large flies into the wind and the backbone handle powerful fish.
