C Salt Fly Rod – By Gavin Platz

I wanted to design a 4  Piece Saltwater Fly Rod made with the finest componentry to withstand the ravages of the saltwater environment, and affordable enough for any budget. 

The most important Fly Rod sizes required for Saltwater are an 8Wt and a 10Wt. 

Both my 8wt and 10wt rods are very gutsy right through the entire working curve of the blank. They are fast action making them well suited for fast long controlled casts to a moving target. 

As most new Saltwater Fly Lines are built between 1/2-to-2-line weights over the Fly Line Standard. My rods are designed to cast these heavier Saltwater Fly Lines.

The Rods come in a Rod Tube and are packaged in a Rod Bag.
They come with a Spare Tip which also fits into the rod bag and tube.

The Rods also come with a $50 ‘F@@K up Fee’, break a piece and for $50 plus postage we’ll replace the broken piece. 

Review by Rod Harrison

“The first Australian to fish Christmas Island, it’s no brag about being around flyrods awhile. 

My first, a bastardised spin stick, reflected the non-existence of salt suitable wands. In times of over-supply and jaw-dropping prices, my latest neatly captures the middle ground. 

Gifted by designer Gavin Platz a test cast was all it took to tick the box.

In describing the well appointed  8wt and 10wts as backup rods for that big trip, Gav’s marketing undersells while over delivering with a spare tip, a feature the others will surely copy.

At half the asking money of big names there’s no way any are twice the flyrod.”
