Guideline NT11 DH Fly Rod
NT11 fly rods are the result of taking advantage of the very latest and most sophisticated SOA (State of Art) graphite materials used in the aerospace industry today. When applied to and used in flyrods, some remarkable benefits are achieved. The most evident effect being an amazing recovery power and crispness in the blanks, created by combining the incredible armoring and strength increasing effects of T1100G graphite with layers of the highest modulus graphite we’ve ever used in any flyrods to date. For you as an angler, the above properties are built into a series of rods that have the lowest blank weight, yet the highest break strain of any other rod in our line up and probably also on the entire flyrod market.

Guideline Elevation DH Fly Rod
Elevation Rods utilises the very latest in material and pattern technology, as well as featuring several more environmentally friendly components, these rods are revolutionary.
We have now started the journey towards more sustainable products at Guideline and this Rod series will show the way for future rod production. We have worked hard and into the details to do whatever is possible to make these rods the best choice for those anglers who care about the environment. The new rod blank development process eliminates any unnecessary material in each section. It also gives us the possibility to monitor power in every part of the blank much more accurately than before. These rods are extremely light and responsive (9’ #5 is 72g / 2,53oz), and yet the strongest standard rods we have created.
In general the rods have a sensitive and protective tip that is very stable and crisp, with a smooth progressive curve further down the blank with a powerful butt section. The action is easy to cast, forgiving and produce accurate casts at high line speed. The rods have great line feel and you will easily connect to the rod to all types of casts. Summed up these are top modern rods with light feel and an action that suits anglers at all levels.
ROD MODELS
Elevation 12' #7/8 and 13' #8/9: Possibly the lightest rods ever produced in their respective line weight and length. Fast action with a sensitive and responsive tip are make these rods a super option for small to medium sized salmon/seatrout rivers. They work superb with all types of Scandi style casts and Shooting Heads, no matter if you use a Multi Tip or a full sinking version. Elevation 14' #9/10 and 15' #10/11: Powerful, strong rods that will manage both Skagit type Heads and all kinds of Multi Density sinking heads with ease. The tip sections on these rods are have more power than the two shorter and lighter rods above. They are designed this way to manage larger flies, more wind and the heavier types of lines often used with these line weights. Incredibly light and well balanced.THE MORE ECO FRIENDLY DETAILS
- Matte, lightly buffed blanks with no added coloration which gives them a dark graphite grey appearance. Any possible, excessive carbon waste particles are collected in separate tank before water is passed on to community cleaning facility. The blanks have a soft spiral pattern and thin, matte coating.
- 3A cork grips without rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy-resins needed in the grips.
- Metal parts of reel seats are “clear anodized” which is the least toxic process possible when using aluminium reel seats. We use no chrome (lead) or paint in the anodizing bath.
- For the coatings on blank, guides and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, we use a bio based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better working atmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odours to a minimum.
- Rods are mounted with light wire single leg guides and KW style stripper guides. We use a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame. Best sustainable choice, still hard and with no chrome plating, which contains lead.
- Rod bag and rod tube cover are made of recycled REPREVE™ polyester.
- The rod tubes are made of recyclable Polypropylene (PP), they are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user. Given its durability and the possibility to melt and reform into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods.
- All rods are 4-piece.

Guideline Stoked Switch Fly Rod
Two new 4-piece Switch rods designed and rated with US Switch weight standards in mind. This means they should be loaded with the same weights as normally used on Scandinavian Double hand rods. Stoked Switch rods are well-balanced, easy-to-cast and have medium fast actions with a forgiving curve that absorbs beginner errors in the casting stroke. The action is well suited for both Scandi- and Skagit style casting and has a tolerance for a large weight-span in lines to accommodate preferences for both styles. The length of these rods makes them easy to manage and possible to use as a single hander if you feel the need for that in special situations. They are very well suited for fishing in small- to medium-sized rivers. Because of the line rating, these are powerful rods that manage wind, rather large and heavy flies, as well as a great variety of line types and densities without worries. Both models feature up-locking reel seats and have carefully designed grips with a 265 mm foregrip and 90 mm rear grip. Like all other Stoked 2021 models, these also will feature new and further updated Eco-friendly components.

Double Handed Fly Rods: Power and Performance for Speycasting and Salmon Fishing in the UK
Fly fishing with a double handed fly rod is a demanding and rewarding discipline, perfect for speycasting when targeting powerful fish like salmon. Here at Fin & Game, our selection of double handed fly rods offer the perfect tools for the job, whether you’re looking to tackle the big four Scottish rivers, or require a lovely light switch rod for smaller streams and low summer conditions. So if you’re an experienced angler or just starting out in the exciting world of fly fishing, let us help you find the rod to suit you best.
We stock a wide range of double handed fly rods from top brands like Frodin, Guideline, Mackenzie, Orvis and Sage. Our knowledgeable staff can help you find the right fly rod for your needs, taking into account factors like the size of the river you’ll be fishing, the species you’re targeting, and your casting style.
Understanding Double-Handed Fly Rods:
Here are some of the key features to consider when choosing a double-handed fly rod:
- Length: Double-handed fly rods typically range in length from 12 to 16 feet, with longer rods offering more power for casting heavier lines and larger flies.
- Line Weight: The fly line weight of a rod indicates the weight of the line it is designed to cast. Heavier lines are better for larger flies and the more challenging conditions of spring and late autumn, while lighter double handed rods and switch rods are ideal for use in the warmer months when a more delicate presentation is key.
- Action: The action of a fly rod refers to how it bends when casting and fighting fish. A faster action rod bends more in the tip than the full length of the rod, while a slower action rod bends more throughout the blank. Faster action rods can offer more power in the right hands, while slower action rods offer more feel and control when playing fish.
In addition to double handed fly rods, we also stock a wide range of single handed fly rods, fly reels, fly lines, flies and clothing to meet all your salmon and fly fishing needs.
