StreamDance GLX
The top of the line is StreamDance GLX. They feature the finest rod components available today& luxurious cork, direct from Portugal, our proprietary GLX graphite, in high performance, 3 & 4-piece rod blanks (depending on rod length). In addition, we've added a new reel seat, with our exclusive offset-oval sculptured barrel and a distinctively beautiful "California Buckeye Burl" insert. And with RECOIL guides made by REC from a special nickle titanium alloy, StreamDance GLX fly rods are not only beautiful to look, but a delight to cast. There are three distinct actions available: Presentation, High Line Speed and Max Line Speed.
PRESENTATION: Presentation actions, available in both the GLX and the Metolius rod lines, have a softer flex and load easily. Available in 3 & 4 piece configurations, depending on rod length, they are ideal for spring creeks, flatwater or tailwater rivers, where short accurate casts with fine, superlight tippets and tiny flies are key to consistent success. fly casters that prefer using a slower, smoother power casting stroke, that bends into the lower 1/3 of the rod, will love these rods, It's a "hi-tech" solution to a wonderful segment of the flyfishing market, meaning slow and smooth doesn't equal soft and slugggish anymore.
HIGH LINE SPEED actions also available in both the GLX and the Metolius rod lines, offer much greater versatility. They are moderately stiff with all but one having fast tapers, giving anglers extended casting distance, with a soft enough tip to cast well at short distances. They generate higher line speeds to help deliver casts in windy conidtions. HLS rods were deisgned for the caster who tneds to punch the cast and wants the fly to go straight to the target..a "stroke of power and performance."
The MAX LINE SPEED rod, available only in the GLX edition, is ideal for those aggressive casters that demant fast casting cycle time. It's powerfully stiff with a fast taper. Fishing streamers out of a boat, where quick accurate casts are required to hit every pocket, is where this specialty rod will shine. It gives you MX distance and MAX line speed to cut into the stiffest breeze. A great solution for long range nymphing with a strike indicator system, this 4-piece, 9' for a #5 line transmits a wonderful feeling of dynamic loanding and total control.
The TROUT SPEY ROD, available only in the Metolius series, is a 13'4" (3 piece) ultra-lightweight, two hand rod designed for big-water trout fishing. Many salmon and steelhead anglers have learned about the incredible advantages of two-hand rods for both casting efficience and line mending control. When the conditions won't allow a long back-cast, the spey rod is the answer. This StreamDance-Metolius version is delightfully "powered down" to provide a smooth presentation, even when the river says "No Way!"

Medium Spring Creeks & Small Streams
Small streams and medium-size spring creeks often challenge you to extend casts approaching 45 feet. Slightly longer rod lengths help make casting tasks and line control mends easier. Light lines in sizes # 3 and # 4 are the norm when the utmost in accuracy and presentation is needed, using flies from #14 down to #24, with 5x to 8x tippets.

Medium Streams & Fast Water / Large Spring Creeks and Wind
When the wind picks up, take command on larger spring creeks with tighter loops, increased control, and more accurate casts. The slightly more powerful designs within the High Line Speed range deliver it all in 8 and 9-foot lengths with #4 and #5 lines, which are increasingly becoming the most dominant player in this environment.

Large Spring Creeks & Slow Water
Standing in the relative openness of large spring creeks or slow moving bodies of water exposes you to spooking fish. Longer range, soft presentation casts become a must under these conditions. Delicacy and accuracy are still at a premium, but there needs to be enough power to turn over longer leaders with a wide range of fly sizes. These same conditions are also found in early morning, fishing on ponds with trout sipping emergers.

Large Rivers, Lakes & All Weather
Big dries, weighted flies, streamers, multi flies, long leaders, strike indicators, sink tips, split shot, are all buggers to cast, even without much wind. Add long casts from float tubes and that's why you need some extra horsepower. And should all the stars and mayflies align, and the conditions get calm, you'll want fine diameter tips that can still protect light tippets and offer trout fishing versatility.

Small Streams & Fast Water
Early season high water, causes small creeks to flow much faster than later in the year. Often at these times, weighted nymphs are the ticket to success, and it is helpful to have a small rod with enough backbone to punch out these small weighted flies. Also, for casting dries on windy days, a faster tempo casting cycle will keep the fly on the water more minutes of the day.
