Loomis & Franklin NX8 10'0" #7/8 stillwater

The Loomis & Franklin NX8 (10'0" #7/8) is a high-end fly rod, designed to tackle challenging situations with power, precision, and smoothness. With a length of 10 feet (305 cm) and a line weight of #7/8, it is perfect for fishing in alpine lakes, wide rivers, and windy environments, where control and the ability to handle strong fish are required.

The blank is made of high modulus carbon fiber, combined with advanced resins, ensuring superior responsiveness, lightness, and structural strength. The fast and progressive action allows for long and accurate casts, with a smooth curve even under load.

The Sea Guide single-foot guides with SiC inserts offer smooth line flow and wear resistance, while the high-quality natural cork handle, with composite inserts, ensures a comfortable grip and optimal control. The anodized aluminum reel seat is elegant and functional, featuring a screw system for secure fastening. The rod is made up of 4 sections, easily transportable thanks to the included rigid cordura tube with internal dividers. The weight is kept low, around 90 grams, to guarantee comfort even after hours of fishing and high sensitivity at every stage of the action.
