ArcticSilver FONNA Fast-Action single-handed fly rod 4pc
ArcticSilver's latest highlight, the Switch-Flex System (patent pending), offers top-tier flexibility. This innovative system allows you to swap fly rod blanks within the same handle in seconds. Whether you need to switch from a delicate 3-weight rod for precise casting to a heavy 10-weight rod for battling larger fish, the Switch-Flex System makes it easy with just a few simple steps. If you already own one of the Switch-Flex handles, you can take advantage of Arctic Silver's more affordable blanks and easily mount them into the Switch-Flex system.
The Switch-Flex-System Handle is made from a high-quality carbon composite (40% carbon) for extreme strength and lightness, combined with marine-grade silicone for a secure grip and long-lasting durability, even in saltwater. The reel seat is crafted from lightweight 6061 aluminum and is Type 2 hard-anodized to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater fishing. Even the fighting butt can be customized—inside the case, which protects the rod handle perfectly, you'll find three different end caps that can be easily screwed onto the reel seat. The ergonomic design of the handle system reduces wrist and tendon strain, enabling fatigue-free casting all day long—just one of the many advantages of Arctic Silver's innovative grip system.
The fast action of the 40T carbon blank makes the ArcticSilver FONNA Fast-Action Single-Hand Fly Rod particularly popular among streamer fans on rivers and coasts, where long casts with minimal effort are the key to success. In addition to the blank’s impressive performance, the titanium guides with ceramic inserts and chrome snake guides ensure your fly line shoots toward the horizon at record-breaking speed, thanks to minimal friction. The new Fonna rod from Arctic Silver, combined with the ingenious Switch-Flex System handle, makes it easy to achieve consistent, effortless casting distances all day long—ideal for sea trout fishing!
The impressive performance of the FONNA blank highlights its many similarities with ArcticSilver's top model, underscoring its excellent value for money. In short, the FONNA Fast Action is an outstanding rod with powerful casting characteristics, especially when fishing with streamers. It will bring smiles to anglers’ faces—whether on the Baltic Sea coast, rivers, or still waters of all kinds!

First of all, the Norwegian manufacturer ArcticSilver is known for a truly innovative range of fly rods. All of these rods have one unique feature in common: the so-called Free-Flex-System including the Quick-Lock reel seat. This patented design allows the blank to swing inside the handle, which creates outstanding casting and fish fighting properties. In fact, ArcticSilver offers many different models that are suitable for a variety of different fly fishing disciplines – whether casting delicate dry flies for trout or massive streamers for large predators. In addition, ArcticSilver also presents a large selection of modern fly lines that have a very thin diameter due to their so-called Micro Diameter (MD) design. This design allows record-breaking casting distances thanks to minimum friction in the rod guides and hardly any air resistance. In fact, these advantages are not only noticeable in combination with an ArcticSilver fly rod, but also with rods from other manufacturers.
