Guideline NT11 Fast Full Flex Single Hand Fly Rod

Guideline's NT11 single-handed fly rods are the result of utilising the latest and most sophisticated high-tech graphite materials used in the aerospace industry today. When applied to fly rods, the benefits are remarkable. The most obvious effect is an amazing recovery power and crispness in the blanks, created by combining the incredible armouring and strength-enhancing effect of T1100G graphite with layers of the highest modulus graphite ever used in a fly rod. For you, the angler, these features are built into a series of rods that offer the lowest blank weight with the highest breaking strength.

NT11 Fast Full Flex Single Hand

Are you the type of fly fisherman who loves really crisp, almost explosive rods to generate extremely high line speeds? But at the same time you want to feel more how the lower part of the rod works, giving you a little more time to prepare your cast? Then the NT11 Fast Full Flex single-handed rod from Guideline is the rod for you!

All Fast Full Flex models give you more time to prepare your cast and slow down a little if you want to. But don't let that fool you into thinking that these rods are "slow" in any way! The kick comes a little bit later, but you will still feel the power and extremely high line speed as the rod unloads. The recovery of these rods is incredible, thanks to Guideline's innovative T1100 material. The rod makers from Scandinavia have optimised the rod curve through the entire lower section and made the tip sections noticeably stiffer than on a regular NT11. This also gives you great lifting power when using longer lines or heavier flies, as it allows you to bring the line out of the water in a controlled manner. The rod is reminiscent of classic parabolic blanks, but offers the clear feel of a fast, state-of-the-art rod.

Thanks to the travel-friendly 4-piece design, all NT11 Fast Full Flex single-handed models are perfect for taking with you on fishing trips to distant waters.

Our recommendations:

• 10' #7 - 16-19 G | 247-293 GRAINS: Versatile all-rounder for trout, steelhead and salmon in smaller rivers or low water. Ideal for medium to heavy flies, longer spey lines or compact multi-tip set-ups. Perfect for precise casts in tight sections, but also for wide presentations.
• 10' #8 - 18-21 G | 278-325 GRAINS: With added strength in the blank, ideal for larger fish or heavier flies in small to medium rivers. Easily handles heavier sinking lines or larger streamers, ideal in combination with WF Bullet+ or 3D+ Compact Shooting Heads for fast, controlled presentations.

C.A.P T1100 technology:

The aim when developing the NT11 single-handed rods was to build blanks that are extremely light, strong and elastic at the same time. The combination of ultra-elastic 46T Low Resin material and T1100 graphite layers creates a blank that offers maximum recovery speed, sensitivity and durability. The proprietary CAP (Complex Axial Pattern) cross construction with 0, 45, 90 and -45 degrees increases pressure resistance, casting distance and stability. High-strength graphite with TORAYCA NANOALLOY® resin provides additional strength and durability, while nano-material prevents damage from external shock, stress or fatigue.

In short, the material properties of the NT11 one-handed blanks can be summarised simply: extreme durability, low weight and exceptional resilience.
