DOUBLES

Anadromous fish species are frequently tough cookies for fly fishermen. Not only can the river you are fishing be totally void of any fish (you should have been there last week), but in addition to that, these fish are usually not feeding actively while in freshwater. Add big rivers, high winds, large flies and fast sinking lines to this equation and you’ll start to see the whole picture. People have been using double-hand rods to even the odds at least to some extent. Previously, most of the double handers were long and heavy casting machines, but recently things have started to change. Recently, Cult DH 14’7’’ #9 was elected to be the best all-round rod for salmon fishing in a large field test (rods from 17 manufacturers) conducted by Chasing Silver Magazine. This year we complement our DH repertoire by introducing a superb new rod series, called Siks and an affordable series called Atom.
