Douglas ERA Pike & Coast Single Handed Fly Rod
With the ERA, the rod builders at Douglas provide a budget entry into the world of American rod building. These single-handed rods were developed with the aim of offering excellent value for money. The lightweight fly rods are recommended for beginners as well as for experienced fly fishers looking for a solid backup rod.
ERA Pike & Coast fly rods from Douglas offer a fast action and when casting a precision, control and power that is difficult to find in this price range. An interesting all-round rod with a classic length of 9 ft. (274 cm), which is suitable for a variety of typical fishing situations. From presenting a heavy shrimp on an intermediate shooting head to casting a bulky Pike streamer into the wind, the sky's the limit with this versatile rod that weighs less than 115g. For fans of Sea Trout and Predator fishing, the ERA offers everything you need for exciting hours on the coast or lake. The slim blank has a fast recovery speed and can be cast very accurately, both mid and long range. The full-wells cork handle feels good in the hand and the black aluminium reel seat secures your reel and contributes to the ERA's low overall weight. The tough snake guides, like the sturdy guide ring with ceramic inlay, also fit wonderfully into the fresh design of this modern rod, which is a real eye-catcher thanks to its grey finish.
If you are looking for a universal class 8 rod, then the ERA Pike & Coast is a great choice for you and will give you a first impression of the quality for which Douglas is known worldwide.
