- Linen/Flax is a natural hollow fiber
- The resulting action is very similar to fiberglass, but with a very quick dampening/recovery akin to carbon fiber
- It has a beautiful woody look and texture but due to the hollow nature of the blank is incredibly lightweight
- Flax is incredibly durable, the best description is a hybrid between glass and carbon fiber - it is not afraid of high sticking
- Flax fiber does have some memory - if you overstress the sections, it will remain slightly bent and can be straightened back, or left alone for a period to recover (similar to bamboo)
This is a powerful rod for a variety of fly situations. Excellent for trout where streamers and sinking lines are used, it is also a good start-up size for bonefish in light wind conditions. What’s more, it’ll handle smallmouth bass and other warmwater fish that require streamer flies and popping bugs.
