*1The Douglas DXF Gen2 Fly Rod represents the evolution of the renowned DXF series, fully redesigned to provide fly anglers with an exceptional fishing experience. The saltwater models have been specifically engineered for demanding saltwater applications and feature 100% corrosion-resistant components along with a moderate 'fast action.' With its medium-fast to fast action, this rod offers a balanced combination of casting distance and precision.
All DXF Gen2 rods from Douglas stand out due to their multi-modulus blank construction. By incorporating carbon fiber with varying stiffness levels, the rod’s action is optimized, resulting in enhanced casting performance and sensitivity. Compared to the first generation, tip movement has been significantly reduced. These minimized tip vibrations ensure maximum accuracy for both short and long casts.
Key Features of the DXF Gen2 Saltwater:
-
Self-aligning reel seat: Equipped with dual locking rings and Nylatron inserts, the reel seat provides secure attachment and easy handling.
-
Ergonomic grips: All saltwater variants feature a full wells grip crafted from premium AAA cork with rubber reinforcements for added durability and protection.
-
High-quality components: Stainless-steel guides with a dark neo coating and a lightly sanded finish not only enhance the rod’s aesthetics but also ensure robustness.
-
Stylish design: Saltwater variants are finished in a brilliant blue tone for an eye-catching look.
-
Protection and transport: Each rod comes with a Cordura tube and matching cloth sock, ensuring safe transport and storage.
-
Lifetime warranty: Douglas offers a limited lifetime warranty on all fly rods, reflecting their commitment to quality and durability.
In our opinion, the DXF Gen2 Saltwater is the perfect choice for sea trout fishing along the coast or targeting sea bass, where precision casting and resilience are essential. Thanks to its versatility, it also excels in light tropical saltwater fishing, such as chasing bonefish in shallow lagoons. For freshwater anglers, this rod is equally well-suited for streamer fishing for predators like brown trout, perch, or zander.
In short, with the Douglas DXF Gen2 Saltwater, you’ll have a powerful and versatile fly rod that reliably accompanies you on coastal adventures, tropical expeditions, or demanding freshwater trips.
