Vision Rivermaniac Fast # 8 - 10,6 ft Seatrout & Salmon Switch Fly Rod

As the name suggests, the Vision Rivermaniac is a modern fly rod designed for fishing in flowing waters – for example, targeting sea trout and salmon. It combines excellent value for money with outstanding performance that fully lives up to its manufacturer’s strong reputation.

The modern blank of the Rivermaniac Fast provides a fast action with exceptional casting capabilities, characterized by tight loops and impressive casting distance. This rod is simply a joy to cast, enabling precise presentations even at long range – whether with a weighted tube fly or a large-winged Sunray. In addition to delicate overhead casts, it’s also well-suited for various roll and spey casts. As such, it ensures successful presentation even with limited backspace, offering versatile performance for a truly dynamic fly fishing experience.

What makes the 10.6 ft #8 model especially interesting is its length and extended fighting butt, allowing you to handle it like a short spey rod. It offers several advantages when mending the drift or controlling the fly. For instance, it’s easier to keep the line out of conflicting currents during the swing or to use specific currents to speed up or slow down your fly. Moreover, the extended fighting butt provides added leverage during the fight, so you won't have to worry about losing control over larger fish. All of this makes it an excellent choice for fishing in a wide range of waters – from small Danish meadow streams to larger salmon rivers in Norway, Sweden, or Iceland.

In short: This fast-action version of the Vision Rivermaniac fly rod will thrill even the most demanding fly anglers. Its versatile performance and broad range of applications provide maximum flexibility and enjoyment on the water!
