Description / Wychwood Drift Fly Rods

The Wychwood Drift Fly Rods are available in a standard model and unique extendable XL model. Both versions feature slim, lightweight blanks that are designed with the modern drift river angler in mind.

These rods are built with a durable and light weight high modulus Toray carbon blank construction that delivers impeccable performance every time. The construction keeps the blank diameter nice and slim and makes the rod easier to handle.

The range of Drift rods will allow you to hook and hold fish at short and medium range with very thin tippets, small dry flies or nymphs, without fear of the hook pulling out. You can also take your time and let the rod take the strain when playing big fish in fast water as the soft action will ensure every lunge is cushioned effectively.

Each rod includes a half wells AAA cork/PVC mixed handle which breaks up the solid colour to create a camo appearance for a more discreet look. Fitted throughout are high end Pac Bay guides and a machined aluminium reel seat that includes the DRIFT logo.

There is also a unique and convenient 20cm fish marker on the blank whipping above the handle for competition fly fishers i.e. Most competitions, only fish of 20cm or more are counted.

The Drift rods are separated into two kinds, the standard Drift rods and the Drift XL rods. The XL versions include a unique extendable feature that can increase the length of the rod up to 8 inches. The rods as themselves have a slightly stiff action which is perfect for dry flies and when extended, this helps the rod be more forgiving which is ideal for nymphing.

To extend the Drift XL rods, simply use a half inch twist on the blank above the handle and gently pull to extend. Then, simply twist the blank backwards to lock the extension into place. The normal Drift rods are available in a 10ft #3, 10ft #4 and 11ft #3. The Drift XL rods with the extension feature are available in a 9ft6 #3, 9ft6 #4, 9ft6 #5 and 10ft6 #3/4.

The Wychwood Drift XL Fly Rods are finished off with a matte black finish with high gloss black whippings featuring green highlights. These rods are supplied with a cordura tube and cloth bag and are available in various lengths and weights for you to choose from.
