The TOKA from Vision is the successor to the popular EKA rods. This is evident from the name! Because while EKA means 'first' in Finnish, TOKA stands for 'second'. What remains, however, is the fantastic price-performance ratio that characterises this rod series. Because in the price segment below 200 euros, these single-handed rods with their medium-fast action and carefully selected components offer everything that beginners and price-conscious fly fishermen need for a good time on the water. This also applies to the TOKA Nymph, which enriches the broad spectrum of this Vision rod series.
Like all other models in the series, the TOKA Nymph is equipped with a 24T graphite blank, which offers a balanced mix of power and lightness. All rod blanks are unpolished and in a subtle graphite colour, which gives them a tactical and timeless look. The Toka Nymph has a matching black anodised down-locking reel seat made of lightweight aluminium, which moves the reel backwards and thus ensures a better balance of the setup. The lightweight nymph rod, which only weighs around 80 grams, has a slim half wells handle made of cork and a mini fighting butt, which is not only very advantageous during the fight. We also find it particularly practical that the Toka Nymph is a 5-piece rod. This means that the pack size shrinks to approx. 80 cm and the handy Cordura transport tube, which protects the rod on the way to the river, fits in almost any suitcase. This is particularly cool if you are travelling to fish for trout, grayling and other species on new waters.
In addition to the cool look, we particularly like the performance of the Toka Nymph. This special model from the large rod family is characterised by its medium-fast action, which is impressive when presenting light nymphs as well as heavily weighted patterns. A versatile nymph rod that can be used for all types of modern nymph fishing - for example for Euro nymphing. The sensitive tip of the Toka Nymph provides direct feedback when drifting and biting and helps to set the hook immediately and safely. It is fast enough to maintain control even in strong currents and sensitive enough to cast long, thin leaders with precision. Top!
In short: Once again, the product developers at Vision have succeeded in creating a very attractively priced rod series. And with the TOKA Nymph, beginners and price-conscious nymph fishermen now also have an excellent model at their disposal that is fully convincing on the river without having to dig deep into their pockets. Last but not least, the TOKA scores with a handy pack size and a modern look that we really like!
