Vision Stillmaniac Single Handed Fly Rod
The Stillmaniac Series by Vision was designed in collaboration with experienced competition anglers from across Europe. These single-handed rods provide the necessary features for successful stillwater fishing with dry flies, nymphs, or streamers, thanks to their length and extra power in the high-quality 40T carbon blank. Their ultra-fast action allows you to perform super long and accurate casts even under challenging conditions – whether overhead or with a switch cast. Each model has been carefully developed to offer a complete range of rods for various stillwater scenarios.
All members of Vision's Stillmaniac family feature a full-wells cork handle made of premium-quality cork, reinforced at both ends. The smooth aluminum reel seat matches perfectly with the modern design of these powerful single-handed rods. The EVA fighting butt adds a stylish touch and harmonizes beautifully with the subtle orange highlights, such as the neatly placed decorative wraps or the Vision logo on the slim spacer. The matte, unpainted blank in a stunning slate blue finish completes the elegant look.
Besides lake fishing, we also recommend this rod series for streamer fishing for trout and other species or light predator fishing. The more powerful models are also an excellent choice for light single-handed fishing for salmon or sea trout in rivers, especially when you need extra reach for mending the line.
Our recommendations:
- Stillmaniac #6 9.9ft: This model is slightly more sensitive than the 10ft #7. It is the most delicate and shortest Stillmaniac, specifically designed for fishing closer to the surface with an intermediate or even floating line. In addition to lake fishing, it’s also perfect for streamer fishing in rivers when you need more reach.
- Stillmaniac #7 10ft: An extremely fast and powerful rod! This ten-foot-long model is made for long casts and effortlessly presents nymphs or streamers. Casting sink tips or sinking lines is a breeze with this powerhouse!
- Stillmaniac #8 10ft: This model offers the most power in the Stillmaniac series. It has no limits in stillwater fishing, and strong winds are no challenge for it. Additionally, light single-handed salmon fishing or streamer fishing for marble trout and other large species is an absolute dream with this rod!
