Guideline Elevation Rods utilises the very latest in material and pattern technology, as well as featuring several more environmentally friendly components, these rods are revolutionary.
Note the 10'6"#3 Nymph Edition in 6 pieces, a little marvel to make its first steps in the new techniques of the Euro Nymph, also called "Czech Nymph".
We have now started the journey towards more sustainable products at Guideline and this Rod series will show the way for future rod production.
We have worked hard and into the details to do whatever is possible to make these rods the best choice for those anglers who care about the environment.
The new rod blank development process eliminates any unnecessary material in each section.
It also gives us the possibility to monitor power in every part of the blank much more accurately than before.
These rods are extremely light and responsive (9’0”#5 is 72g / 2,53oz), and yet the strongest standard rods we have created.
In general the rods have a sensitive and protective tip that is very stable and crisp, with a smooth progressive curve further down the blank with a powerful butt section.
The action is easy to cast, forgiving and produce accurate casts at high line speed.
The rods have great line feel and you will easily connect to the rod to all types of casts.
Summed up these are top modern rods with light feel and an action that suits anglers at all levels.
Rod models Elevation 7'6"#3 - 3 pieces: The ideal rod for small rivers with wooded banks where only wading is possible and where the reduced casting space requires a short and precise rod. The ideal tool for small Breton, Norman, Welsh or Irish rivers (non exhaustive list)
Elevation 10’6”#3 Nymph Edition – 6 pieces : A light weight 6-piece nymph rod with a well-balanced and crisp action, weighing in at 89 grams. A unique, travel friendly rod with down-locking reel seat and custom designed cork grip and butt. The action is crisp and very easy to manage even for the intermediate skill level of nymphing anglers. We have made sure to build the tip with a balanced flex that will cushion violent shakes and bursts from aggressive, large fish even on delicate tippets. There are some upgraded rod details on Elevation rods also. The surface of the blank has a new matte coating created by using a specially treated shrink tape during production. This eliminates any excessive grinding or buffing of the blanks as well. Elevation 9’0” #4 & #5: The 4 and 5 wt are typical all-round trout rods for dries, nymphs and lighter streamers.
Elevation 9'9” #6 : Rods made for both lake and river fishing after trout, seatrout and salmon. This new length of 9'9” is the ultimate compromise between 9'6” and 10’0”. It gives you the power of the 9'6” and the reach/distance of the 10’0”. Lighter, crisper and better feel than the 10ft.
Elevation 10'0"#6 & 10'0"#7: The typical lake rods for both lough style and shore techniques. Will help you control most stillwater trout even on rather delicate tippet These ten footers can also be great fishing tools for coastal sea trout, one hand salmon fishing on smaller rivers and streamer fishing in bigger rivers where a long rod is helpfull to roll cast or over cast above bushes.
Elevation 9'0"#8 & 9'0”#9: Typical rods for the heavier fishing after migratory trout, pike, salmon, seatrout and bonefish. These rods suit rivers, lakes, coastal and flats fishing where big fish and demeaning conditions are common. Unique balance and weight for rods in this category.

Any possible, excessive carbon waste particles are collected in separate tank before water is passed on to community cleaning facility. • The blanks have a soft spiral pattern and thin, matte coating. New, improved full wells grips of 3A cork without rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy-resins needed in the grips. • Even the lighter rods have a small cork butt, and from 9'0”#7 and up there are full size fighting butts on all rods. • Metal parts of reel seats are “clear anodized” which is the least toxic process possible when using aluminium reel seats. We use no chrome (lead) or paint in the anodizing bath. • For the coatings on blank, guides and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, we use a bio-based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better working atmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odours to a minimum. • Rods are mounted with light wire single leg guides and KW style stripper guides. We use a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame. Best sustainable choice, still hard and with no chrome plating, which contains lead. • Rod bag and rod tube cover are made of recycled REPREVE™ polyester. • The rod tubes are made of recycable Polypropylene (PP), they are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user. Given its durability and the possibility to melt and reform into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods. • All rods are 4-piece.
