ArcticSilver FONNA single-handed fly rod blank fast action 4pc
ArcticSilver's latest highlight, the Switch-Flex-System (patent pending), offers unparalleled flexibility. This innovative system allows you to swap fly rod blanks within the same handle in seconds. Whether you need to switch from a fine 3-weight rod for precise casts to a heavy 10-weight rod for battling larger fish, the Switch-Flex-System makes it possible with just a few simple movements. Those who already own one of the Switch-Flex handles can take advantage of Arctic Silver’s more affordable blanks and easily mount them into the Switch-Flex-System.
Easy casting all day, with significantly reduced strain on your wrist and tendons, are just a few of the benefits of this innovative Switch-Flex grip system. Additionally, the ArcticSilver FONNA single-handed fly rod blank (Fast-Action) itself provides plenty of fun! Its fast action gives this blank extremely powerful and assertive casting properties. The quick action of the 40T carbon blank makes the rod particularly popular among streamer enthusiasts on the river and coast, where long casts without effort are the key to success. Alongside the impressive performance of the blank, the titanium guide rings with ceramic inserts and the lightweight chrome snake guides ensure that your fly line shoots towards the horizon with record speed, thanks to their almost negligible friction.
The impressive performance of the FONNA blank is characteristic of its many similarities with the flagship model from ArcticSilver, which highlights its excellent price-performance ratio. In short, the FONNA Fast Action is an outstanding rod with powerful casting capabilities that will bring smiles to faces, especially when fishing with streamers—whether on the Baltic Sea coast, in rivers, or in 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.
