Vision Little Hero # 3 - 7 ft Single Handed Fly Rod

The team at Vision Fly Fishing from Finland knows exactly this: being a hero on the water doesn’t mean you have to rob a bank. Antti Guttorm and his Finnish colleagues prove this impressively with the Hero rod series. These affordable rods feature a medium-fast, balanced action that suits both beginners and experienced casters, harmonizing beautifully with all common casting styles. Each Hero rod is finely tuned to the type of fly fishing it’s most likely to be used for — and we really like that! Whether you want to be a superhero on various waters, a nymphing hero, or rule stillwaters: these rods offer the right action and components for the job.

The Vision Hero rod series covers almost all typical applications of modern single-handed fly fishing. It offers an intuitive entry point and makes it easier for you to find the perfect model. The design of each individual model is highly practical and shows that the Finns not only know how to build rods but also how to fish. For example, the Nymph Hero rods are equipped with a down-locking reel seat that improves the overall balance of the setup. Additionally, slim single-leg guides are placed at closer intervals on the blank to prevent line or leader sag. This reduction in slack allows for better bite detection and cleaner drifts when nymphing. Like the Nymph Hero, the other members of the Hero family are well thought out and built from A to Z with fishability in mind. The coastal rods feature corrosion-resistant components and come with a beautiful aluminum reel seat. Rarely have we seen a rod series in this price range that impressed us so quickly. True price-performance winners that offer a perfect introduction to the world of fly fishing – and also convince more advanced anglers. By the way, you don’t need a cape when heading to the water with the Hero — a pair of waders will do just fine.

The Vision Little Hero with its 7 ft length is perfectly suited for sneaky fishing on small creeks, where heavy vegetation leaves little room for casting.

Did you know: At Vision, you’ll find a carbon rating for each graphite rod used (in this case: 36). The higher the number, the higher the carbon modulus used in that rod. This rating is closely related to the tonnage of the carbon material in each blank. However, this is not the whole story — Vision uses different carbon blends to achieve the desired rod action, and even the resins differ from model to model. But this number gives a good indication of the primary carbon used in the blank. Vision’s premium rods use graphene-infused resin and are marked with the Graphene logo.
