Vision Hero Single Handed Fly Rod

The Vision Fly Fishing team from Finland knows exactly: Being a hero on the water doesn't mean you have to rob a bank. Antti Guttorm and his colleagues prove this point impressively with the Hero rod series. These affordable rods have a medium-fast, well balanced action that suits beginners and experienced casters alike, and harmonize very well with all typical casts. All Hero rods are finely tuned to the type of fly fishing they are most likely to be used for. We especially like that! Whether you want to be a superhero on many different types of water, a nymphing hero, or take the reigns on stillwaters, these rods give you the right action and components for the job.

The Vision Hero rod series covers almost all typical applications of modern single-handed fishing. It offers an intuitive approach and makes it easy for you to find the right model for you. The design of each model is very practical and shows that the Finns not only know something about rod building, but also about fishing. For example, the Nymph Hero rods are equipped with a down-locking reel seat, which provides better balance to the entire setup. In addition, slim single leg rings are placed at a closer distance on the blank here to prevent slack in the line or leader. This minimization of slack provides better bite detection - and a cleaner drift - when nymph fishing. Like the Nymph Hero, the other members of the Hero family are well thought out and trimmed from A to Z for fishability. The coastal rods are equipped with corrosion-free components and feature a beautiful aluminum reel seat. Rarely has there been a rod series in this price range that appealed to us so immediately. Real price-performance winners that provide a perfect introduction to the world of fly fishing - but also convince advanced anglers. By the way, you don't need to wear a cape when you head to the water with the Hero. A pair of waders is more than enough.

Did you know: At Vision you will find a rating for the carbon used in each Vision graphite rod (here: 36). The higher the number, the higher the modulus of carbon used in that particular rod. The rating is closely related to the tonnage of carbon in each rod. This is not the whole truth, however, as Vision uses different carbon blends to achieve the desired rod action, and resins also differ from model to model. But this rating is indicative of the main carbon used in the blank. Vision premium rods use graphene in the resin and these rods are marked with the graphene logo.
