Vision River Hero # 6 - 9 ft Single Handed Fly Rod

The team at Vision Fly Fishing from Finland knows one thing for sure: being a hero on the water doesn’t mean you have to rob a bank. Antti Guttorm and his Finnish colleagues clearly prove this with the Hero rod series. These affordable rods feature a medium-fast, balanced action that suits both beginners and experienced casters, and harmonizes perfectly with all common casting styles. Every Hero rod is finely tuned to the type of fly fishing it’s best suited for — and we really like that! Whether you want to be a superhero across various waters, a nymphing expert, or the ruler of stillwaters — these rods offer the right action and ideal components for the job.

The Vision Hero rod series covers almost all typical areas of modern single-handed fly fishing. It offers an intuitive entry point and helps you find the model that’s just right for you. Each model is built with practical use in mind and shows that the Finns know not only rod building but also fishing. For example, the Nymph Hero rods are equipped with a down-locking reel seat that provides better balance to the entire setup. Additionally, slim single-leg guides are placed closer together on the blank to prevent sagging of the line or leader. This reduction in slack ensures better bite detection and a cleaner drift when nymphing. Just like the Nymph Hero, the other members of the Hero family are thoughtfully designed and fully focused on fishability. The coastal models are equipped with corrosion-resistant components and a stylish aluminum reel seat. Rarely have we encountered a rod series in this price class that impressed us so quickly. True price-performance winners that offer a perfect entry into the world of fly fishing — and also win over advanced anglers. And by the way, you don’t need to wear a cape when heading out with the Hero — waders will do just fine.

Vision River Hero # 6 - 9 ft Fly Rod: The Vision River Hero was specially developed for river fishing. This rod feels most at home when casting heavy nymphs, dry-dropper rigs, and slightly larger streamers.

Did you know: Vision provides a carbon rating for each graphite rod they make (this one: 36). The higher the number, the higher the modulus of the carbon used in the blank. This rating closely correlates with the carbon tonnage in the rod. However, that’s not the whole story — Vision uses different carbon blends to achieve the desired rod action, and even the resins vary between models. But this number gives you a reference for the primary carbon used in the blank. Vision's premium rods use graphene-infused resin, and these rods are marked with the Graphene logo.
