My selection of fly rods
Guideline fly rods
Choosing one brand over another in the forest of offers, references and origins available on the market is no easy task.
I have chosen to associate my image and reputation with the Scandinavian brand Guideline, whose fly rods are of unrivalled quality.
Guideline offers several series of fly rods to suit all situations, all fish and all fly angler profiles.
There is a wide range of prices to suit all budgets and requirements.
The common denominator of Guideline fly rods is that they are all remarkable tools for having fun, performing well, being efficient and progressing in your technique while fooling many fish.
They are the result of a combination of cutting-edge technology and the know-how of real fly fishermen, experts and engineers who have spent and continue to spend countless hours at the water's edge testing each Guideline fly rod in real fishing situations.
The superior quality of the components used and the finishes, the finesse of the design and the amazing performance of Guideline fly rods mean I can recommend them without the slightest hesitation.
I offer 9 series for a total of around 50 models.
