Traper GST Euro Nymph Competition Single Handed Fly Rod

The Traper GST Rod Series comprises a range of well-thought-out rods optimized for their respective applications, developed by professional competition anglers. Competition rods designed by team anglers of the Polish national team, who have already won several world and European championships.

Thanks to state-of-the-art carbon fiber technology from Japan using CARBOFLEX 430 blanks, action and bending curve could be precisely optimized for this purpose. These sanded and matt-varnished blanks do not reflect any light, minimizing disturbance on bright days and in clear water. The long, super-light, sensitive blank with an extremely sensitive tip and fast recovery allows for precise casting of fine nymph rigs combined with modern Euro-Nymph lines. The highly-modulated carbon fiber transmits vibrations undamped to the handle, allowing for accurate detection of cautious bites or bottom structures. The action of the rod is consistently medium to fast in the middle section with a sensitive, reactive tip. The lower part of the blank holds enough power reserves to effectively fight large trout or even barbel on fine tippets.

The powerful blank is complemented by high-quality high-end components. This includes the perfect placement of lightweight titanium single-foot guides to reduce weight and not influence the rod's action. The premium AAAA cork from Portugal and a CNC-machined, down-locking aluminum reel seat with carbon inlay complete the rod functionally and perfectly match the tactical, minimalist look of the rod. The reel seat and the small fighting butt also shift the weight of the reel rearward, greatly facilitating fishing at full arm's length. All GST rods come in a sturdy Cordura tube, with a soft mesh case included to securely transport the rod even in a rod case. Additionally, all GST rods come with a 25-year service guarantee, providing you with the necessary security on your adventures, whether near or far.

In short: In our opinion, the Traper GST Competition Nymph rods bring all the important characteristics that a nymph rod should have, especially the fast, powerful, yet sensitive action makes it the ideal all-around nymph rod if you want to cover various areas for trout, grayling, barbel, and more. The price-performance ratio, as known from Traper, is outstanding even with the GST rod.
