Vision Super Hero # 5 - 9 ft Single Handed Fly Rod

The team at Vision Fly Fishing from Finland knows very well: being a hero on the water doesn’t mean you have to rob a bank. Antti Guttorm and his Finnish colleagues clearly prove that with the Hero rod series. These affordable rods feature a medium-fast, balanced action that suits both beginners and experienced casters and works beautifully with all typical casts. All Hero rods are finely tuned for the type of fly fishing they are most likely to be used for. We particularly like that! Whether you want to be a superhero on different types of water, a nymphing expert, or dominate stillwaters — these rods offer the right action and the perfect 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 easy for you to find the right model. The construction of each model is very practice-oriented and shows that the Finns understand not only rod building but also fishing. For example, the Nymph Hero rods are equipped with a down-locking reel seat that ensures better balance of the entire setup. In addition, slim single-leg guides are placed closer together on the blank to prevent sagging of the line or leader. This reduction of slack ensures better bite detection and a cleaner drift when nymphing. Like the Nymph Hero, all other members of the Hero family are thoughtfully designed and optimized from A to Z for fishability. The coastal rods are equipped with corrosion-free components and a sleek aluminum reel seat. Rarely have we seen a rod series in this price range that impressed us so quickly. True value-for-money winners that offer the perfect entry into the world of fly fishing — and also convince advanced anglers. By the way, you don’t need to wear a cape when heading to the water with the Hero — waders will do just fine.

Vision Super Hero # 5 - 9 ft Fly Rod: Whether you're using a big, bushy dry fly, a tungsten nymph under an indicator, or a Wooly Bugger — the Vision Super Hero is a true all-rounder and gets your fly precisely into every current.

Did you know: At Vision, you'll find a carbon rating for every graphite rod (in this case: 36). The higher the number, the higher the modulus of the carbon used for that specific rod. This rating closely relates to the tonnage of carbon in each blank. However, this isn’t the whole story — Vision uses various carbon blends to achieve the desired rod action, and resins also vary from model to model. But this rating gives a clue about the main carbon used in the blank. Vision’s premium rods use graphene in the resin, and these rods are marked with the Graphene logo.
