Vision Black Hero River Special Edition Fly Rod # 5 - 9 ft
The team at Vision Fly Fishing from Finland knows exactly: Being a hero at the water doesn't mean you have to rob a bank. Antti Guttorm and his Finnish colleagues demonstrate this impressively with the Hero rod series. These affordable rods have a medium-fast, balanced action that caters to both beginners and experienced casters, harmonizing well with all typical casts. Each Hero rod is finely tuned for the type of fly fishing where it is most likely to be used. We particularly like that!
The Vision Hero rod series covers almost all typical applications in modern single-handed fishing. It provides an intuitive approach, making it easy for you to find the right model. The construction of each model is very practical, showing that the Finns understand not only rod building but also fishing. Every member of the Hero family is well thought out and trimmed from A to Z for fishability. Rarely has there been a rod series in this price range that appealed to us immediately. Real value-for-money winners that enable a perfect entry into the world of fly fishing but also convince advanced anglers. And now, selected rod models are available in a limited edition for the German market, in a stylish black: The Vision Black Hero! You don't need a cape when you head to the water with the Hero; chest waders are more than enough.
Black Hero River Special Edition:
In the Hero series, the #5 model in 9 ft. is also called the 'Super Hero.' And that's exactly what this rod is - an absolute hero in rivers, ponds, lakes, or streams. With this length and weighting, you are very flexible to fish all techniques, whether fine dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, or streamers. With the Super Hero in all black, you can fish all techniques and have the ultimate all-around tool. Therefore, the action of the rod is continuous, medium-fast, and sensitive, yet the lower section offers some power reserves for slightly heavier flies. Components and appearance harmonize and are well above standard for a rod in this price range. A great all-around rod at an extremely fair price, we really like that!
Did you know: At Vision, you'll find a rating for the carbon used in each Vision graphite rod (here: 36). The higher the number, the higher the modulus of the carbon used for the respective rod. The rating is closely related to the tonnage of carbon in each rod. This is not the whole truth, as Vision uses different carbon blends to achieve the desired rod action, and the resins also differ from model to model. But this rating is an indication of the main carbon used in the blank. Vision's premium rods use graphene in the resin, and these rods are marked with the Graphene logo.
