Hanak Superb RS Graphene Euronymph Fly Rod
If you're engaged in European competition fishing, you'll quickly come across the name "Hanák," especially in the realms of Euronymphing, Czech Nymphing, and more. This Czech niche boutique is a well-established name, and for a good reason – Hanák's team members regularly grace the podiums of various fly fishing competitions.
Ultra-light, slim, and powerful! The brand-new Superb RS Graphene complements Hanak's flagship lineup with additional premium models designed specifically for demanding dry fly and nymph fishing, featuring an adapted, even more responsive rod action. Multiple world and European champion Luboš Roza developed this rod series in collaboration with trophy fish expert František Hanák, creating an extremely practical rod.
Graphene makes it possible!
RS stands for "Race Sense," representing speed, slimness, sensitivity, and performance. The synergy of these extremes is made possible by Hexagon Graphene in the carbon matrix of the blank. The hexagonal graphene grids have a tensile strength 200 times that of steel at an incredibly low weight. This allows for a weight reduction of approximately 30% compared to pure carbon rods. Especially in rods with extra length, this technology enables a new level of performance. And that's precisely why these rods convinced us.
For the 25th anniversary of HANÁK Competition, these rods received an exclusive design with many clever improvements. The blank of these rods shines in an Olive Gold tone, and the exclusive black reel holder in Hexagon design (similar to the structure of the graphene material) gives the rod finesse and elegance. For the perfect feel and a pleasant fishing experience, the slim, ergonomic Half Wells grip made of AAAA cork is equipped with a beautiful wood extension, creating a seamless transition into the grip and allowing even better bite detection with the index finger. To reduce weight and swing weight and improve line guidance with fine lines, the blank is equipped with high-quality ANT (anti-tangle) stripping guides and RECoil Titanflex single-foot guides, extremely lightweight and break-resistant. Nymph enthusiasts will also appreciate the small hook keeper directly above the grip. Overall, a very well-thought-out design with attention to detail and, above all, a highly application-oriented design. You can tell that this rod was developed by professionals who perfectly master their craft.
Superb RS Euronymph
You can practically see in this rod that it detects even the finest bites. And that's exactly the case! The reactive blank with a fast tip is perfect for all styles of modern nymph fishing, efficiently transmitting vibrations (bites, bottom contact, etc.) to the angler through the special handle. Depending on the class and length, you can choose the right weapon for your fishing and your water. The low weight combined with the fast action makes precise casts and focused fishing with an extended arm a delight throughout the day. While the rod's built-up is adapted for Euronymphing, these rods also work exceptionally well with "normal" fly lines and are ideal for delicate dry fly fishing.
In short, if you're looking for a rod that not only looks good, is ultra-light, and exceptionally well-built but also delivers top performance on the water, you're in the right place. The expertise of Luboš Roza and Franta Hanák is perfectly fused in this rod. Competition meets Trophy Fish!
