- SIX SIDED, SOLID FIBERGLASS & CARBON RODS -
- DESIGNED & CRAFTED IN MICHIGAN U.S.A -
PARAGON "Parabolic Hexagon" rods bring a unique approach to fly fishing, blending tradition with durability. Designed with six-sided solid fiberglass or carbon sections, these rods are expertly tapered to mimic the feel of bamboo.
TWO DISTINCT ACTIONS
FIBERGLASS - TRUE PARABOLIC ACTION
CARBON - SEMI PARABOLIC ACTION
The six-sided design provides a bamboo-like feel in an almost unbreakable rod that remains straight, will not take a "set" and requires no special care —built to last a lifetime.
ACTIONS EXPLAINED
TRUE PARABOLIC ACTION
A parabolic fly rod action means the rod bends evenly from the tip to the butt section, creating a smooth, deep flex. This results in a distinctive "C" shape during casting and hook setting. Because the entire rod absorbs energy, parabolic rods offer efficient energy transfer, making them great for longer casts and delicate presentations. However, they may lack the lifting power of stiffer rods, making them better suited for smaller to medium-sized fish.
SEMI-PARABOLIC
A semi-parabolic action, on the other hand, has a stiffer tip and midsection, while the butt section remains more flexible. This design allows for greater control and accuracy, making it a versatile choice for various fly fishing techniques. Semi-parabolic rods provide a balance between power and finesse, offering better lifting ability while still maintaining a smooth casting experience.
