Loomis & Franklin NX8 Euronymph Single Handed Fly Rod

The fly rods from Loomis & Franklin, Italy, are developed in close collaboration with Soldarini Fly Tackle and Sandro Soldarini. These modern carbon fiber rods offer an impressive price-performance ratio and very solid craftsmanship. With models for all important fishing scenarios, Loomis & Franklin provides a budget-friendly entry into the world of fly fishing or a reliable backup for advanced anglers.

The new Loomis & Franklin NX8 Euronymph was specifically designed for precise and technical nymph fishing, but it is also excellent for ‘classic’ nymphing techniques and fine dry fly fishing. In addition to the excellent craftsmanship of high-quality components, it offers the perfect combination of precision and sensitivity.

• 9'6" #3/4: This fly rod offers an interesting combination of length and line weight, making it ideal for various light and fine fly fishing applications. The slightly longer rod provides better line control, whether fishing with dry and wet flies or classic nymphing techniques. In small to medium waters, modern nymphing with particularly fine lines is also possible with this longer rod.

• 10' #2/3 & 10'6" #2/3: The longer models of the NX8 series from Loomis & Franklin are perfect for fly fishers who want to practice modern nymphing. They offer fast action combined with a sensitive tip, providing excellent performance in Euronymphing, including perfect drift control and instant bite detection, even with the smallest contacts. The reactive tip also allows for pinpoint presentation of weighted competition nymphs on the mono rig. With two available lengths, the rod is perfect for both small to medium waters and larger rivers. Both versions feature the typical build for Euronymph rods, including ultra-fine guides, a down-locking reel seat, and a small fighting butt.

The innovative construction of high-quality carbon provides impressive feedback with every cast. The use of a new Japanese high modulus carbon and innovative resins makes the blank particularly light, responsive, and durable. This is supported by fine guides made of the lightest single-foot rings. The unpolished blank with a spiral surface also prevents thin mono nymph lines from sticking when wet. A special carbon weave in the grip area prevents twisting and significantly increases responsiveness and precision. The high-quality half wells grip made of cork and the 6061-T6 aluminum reel seat give the rod elegance and underline the attention to detail.

In short, the Loomis & Franklin NX8 Euronymph is the perfect companion for exciting and varied days on the water. It feels incredibly light in hand and, thanks to its versatility, covers a wide range of techniques and water types. And, as usual, at a superb price-performance ratio.
