Loomis & Franklin NX8 Stillwater # 7-8 - 10 ft Single Handed Fly Rod

The fly rods from Loomis & Franklin, Italy, are developed in close collaboration with Soldarini Fly Tackle and Sandro Soldarini. These modern carbon fiber rods offer an impressive price-performance ratio and very solid craftsmanship. With models for all important fishing scenarios, Loomis & Franklin provides a budget-friendly entry into the world of fly fishing or a reliable backup for advanced anglers.

The new Loomis & Franklin NX8 Stillwater was specifically designed to meet the diverse demands of stillwater fishing but is also excellent for streamer fishing in larger rivers and for single-handed fishing for salmon and sea trout. In addition to the excellent craftsmanship of high-quality components, it offers the perfect combination of power, precision, and sensitivity.

The NX8 10' #7/8 is the ideal companion for fly fishing in stillwaters of any kind and size. It has been developed with a particular focus on the requirements of fly fishing in these waters and offers the flexibility to use a wide range of fly lines. Whether it's a midgetip, long belly WF, or a fast sinking line, this rod covers all these applications and, thanks to its impressive casting power, allows you to achieve great casting distances. But this rod doesn’t just shine in stillwater; it also performs exceptionally well when streamer fishing in rivers or even targeting sea trout and salmon. The 10ft long blank, combined with powerful yet sensitive action, offers excellent line control.

The innovative construction of high-quality carbon provides impressive feedback with every cast. The use of new Japanese high modulus carbon and innovative resins makes the blank particularly light, responsive, and durable. This is further supported by fine guides made of the lightest single-leg rings. A special carbon weave in the grip area prevents twisting and significantly increases responsiveness and precision. The high-quality full wells grip made of cork and the 6061-T6 aluminum reel seat give the rod elegance and highlight the attention to detail.

In short, the Loomis & Franklin NX8 Stillwater is the perfect companion for all applications on lakes or reservoirs, for hunting big fish with streamers in rivers, or for exciting single-handed fishing for migratory salmonids. It feels incredibly light in the hand and, thanks to its versatility, covers a wide range of techniques and water types. And, as usual, at a very good price-performance ratio.
