The new Wing fly rod series from Greys: the new flagship of the popular manufacturer and an absolute highlight that powerfully stirs up the fly fishing market. Because so much technical finesse and expert know-how as in the new rod series has never been seen before in a Greys rod. And best of all: from small stream fishing, to Euro nymphing, to two-handed fishing for salmon, to uncompromising saltwater fishing for blue-water giants, the fully comprehensive rod series really covers all niches of fly fishing. The Wing Series is so broadly positioned that truly every fly fisherman will find the perfectly tailored rod for every conceivable use. And this at a very affordable price, typical for Greys. What all rods have in common is the high-modulus carbon blank, which uses the Greys-typical Powerlux matrix - a technology that makes the blank particularly strong at relatively small diameters. The action and the structure of the respective blanks was thereby tailored to the intended area of application of each individual rod model. Visually, the series impresses with a uniform, modern and very chic look: The matte carbon gray does not reflect light and reduces the scaring effect in tricky conditions, while in the hand part the parts in "Glossy Red" give the rods a very noble "touch". Ergonomically designed handles made of high quality cork and custom reel seats with double lock nut complete the overall picture.
Wing Salt
No compromises allowed: when fishing in tropical saltwater, you have to be able to rely 110% on your tackle, and the rod designers at Greys know that too. The Greys Wing Salt is a special rod for the very toughest use on the fastest and hardest fighting fish of these seas. Whether giant Tarpon, shy Permit or wild GTs in the surf, not only anglers but especially equipment are put to the absolute test in saltwater fishing. That's why the Salt models of the Wing series was all about performance and power - from the adapted action to the installed components. The fast but consistent action with quick recovery makes casting large, voluminous flies a breeze. But accurate presentation with few false casts and potentially in high winds is also a pleasure with the Wing saltwater models. Cast after cast, the fly lands on target, so you can concentrate better on the fish and might end up with a chance or two more at the end of the day. The powerful lower section of the blank has incredible power reserves to battle even big fish right from the start and quickly turn the fight to your favor. The construction of the blank has of course also been specifically adapted to the use of these rods: robust snake guides for less friction with thicker lines, a saltwater-resistant aluminum reel seat and a stable, grippy Full Wells cork handle with enlarged Fighting Butt.
In short: If you don't want to make any compromises when hunting the shyest, fastest or strongest fish in saltwater, but also don't want to dig too deep into your pocket, the new Wing Salt is just right for you. Practical design meets powerful blank technology and is combined in a fantastic saltwater rod. An absolute recommendation!
