ARCHETYPE 763-4 for streams
Small streams only a few metres wide are often difficult to tackle without suitable equipment. The banks are crowded and the foliage numerous, requiring the use of a short rod with a minimum of false casting. What's more, as the spots are small, discretion in approach and landing is essential. The Archetype 763 (7.6 ft., 3-gauge line), with its fast action and playful tip, is the ideal choice for fishing in these tight spots.
FR 380-4-GA in small rivers
On smaller rivers, longer casts are often necessary, but with the same constraint of overcrowded banks limiting back casts. In these conditions, rolls are often the solution. The moderating action of the FR380 (8 foot, 3 line) combined with a fine tip allows this technical gesture to be executed to perfection, with delicate casts guaranteeing discretion and efficiency.
ARCHETYPE 904-4 the technical cane
Like its smaller sibling, the Archetype 904 (9 ft., 4 line) features a fast action for extremely accurate, long-distance casts. It is designed for the demanding, directional angler who wants to lay their fly in a pocket handkerchief in medium to large rivers.
FR590-4-GA versatility incarnate
Even when you're a collector and love to have the perfect tool, you also dream of the ultimate all-round rod that comes out great whatever the conditions. In the Edge Rods range, if you had to own just one, it would be the FR590 (9', 5" tang).
With its moderating action, this lure is ideal for smooth casting and delicate landing at short and medium distances. But if the need arises to go for more distant gobbles, you'll be able to load it much more while keeping control of your line.
ARCHETYPE 1007-4 for reservoir fishing
Reservoir trout can be demanding and difficult to lure! You may need to present them with a fine nymph or propel a long-distance streamer when they flee the banks. The Archetype 1007 (10 ft, 7" line) with its fast and directional action will allow you to do both effectively. In the first case, a size 6 line will be the best choice, and in the second you'll opt for a size 7 model.
