The STREAM line of the RADIUS series from Loomis & Franklin not only offers outstanding value for money, far exceeding expectations for an entry-level rod in its price range. It's also an incredibly versatile tool for light to medium freshwater fishing. Designed to cover a variety of fly fishing scenarios, from small, crystal-clear mountain streams to larger tail-waters, these rods are versatile tools for budget-conscious fly fishers.
Equipped with modern single-foot rod guides, a great Half-Wells cork grip reinforced with rubberized cork ends at both ends, and an uplocking aluminum reel seat with dual locking nuts for secure positioning of the fly reel. A well-thought-out design meets user-friendly, target-oriented action.
- RADIUS STREAM 7'6'' #4: Designed with the Italian casting style in mind, this rod is built for high line speeds and precise presentation. It feels at home on the smaller stream and handles both roll casts and overhead casts equally well.
- RADIUS STREAM 8'8'' and 9': These versatile, universal rods are available in line weights #4 (8'8'') and #4/5 (9') respectively, ideal for classic fly fishing with dry flies, nymphs, and lightweight streamers.
- RADIUS STREAM 9'6'' #4: Slightly longer fly rod, perfectly suited for larger bodies of water. Its increased leverage aids in mending fly line, favors water-based casts (roll and switch casts), and thus improves drift control.
