Vision Onki Single-Handed Fly Rod
lsquo;Onki’ means ‘Rod and Line’ in Finnish. We didn’t know that, did you!? One thing we do know is that Vision’s Onki rod is a true winner when it comes to the price to performance ratio. Right from the start, we were amazed by Onki’s high-quality components, its low swing weight and casting performance!
Antti Guttorm, the Onki’s product developer, and his colleagues created 11 medium-fast rod models to cover most of the situations anglers face when fishing for typical freshwater species on creeks, rivers and on various stillwater/reservoir waters. Shorter, very sensitive rods to fish with tiny dries to long and filigree sticks for modern nymphing techniques and powerful casting machines for long double hauls - the Onki series covers it all!
Based on Vision’s history of true classics like the 3Zone and the Nite/Nite Catapult, these four-piece, Korean made, high-quality rods have green olive blanks with graphite grey markings. The quality of high-modulus Korean graphite (40 tn) is something you normally find only in more expensive rods. It enabled Vision to create a very light and sensitive rod. The rest of the components are of great quality as well. For example, the grips have narrow rubber/cork reinforcements to make them more durable.
With these rods, your money is truly well spent!

This product has been tested in Trout Fisherman Magazine (UK), issue March/April 2017. The result:
„These are accomplished, easy to cast rods that are also a pleasure to fish with. The 10ft 6wt definitely has a softer tip which makes it perfect for floating and intermediate lines, dry fly and nymph fishing. It can handle and protect lighter tippets and is also incredibly accurate when it comes to presentation and turnover. The zippier 9ft 6in 7wt has more grunt so will happily toil away with a whole range of lines from floaters to sinkers all day long.“
