10' #3 4-piece Taniwha Nano-helix high modulus carbon fibre fly rod blanks

Available blank only including a good quality black cotton rod sock, or add a discounted rod tube.  Components sold separately.  

The TNH 1003 10’ #3 is a great all-round river rod for general upstream nymph and dry fishing in European conditions. It combines a sensitive tip with plenty of feel and feedback with a tippy action and strong butt and mid-section, a lively rod with real zip. Rated #3 by the manufacturer it casts a #4 line equally well and would also be suitable as a light stillwater or upland lochan fishing rod  for floating line applications.  TNH seriesTaniwha Nano-helix blanks are carefully constructed fast and sensitive hi-modulus carbon fibre fly rod tapers from a designer whose early career included designing high performance fly rods for a well regarded New Zealand brand before establishing his own advanced composites manufacturing facility based in China. These blanks offer premium quality fit, finish and performance at a surprisingly reasonable price. Taniwha Rodworks exclusive.  The TNH series incorporates high-modulus, uni-directional carbon fibre pre-pregs wrapped on a helical carbon fibre scrim with the latest nano resin adhesives for optimum strength to weight performance, hoop strength and blank recovery speed. The result is a light, slim, strong and sensitive blank with fine tips, plenty of feel and fast tip recovery. Most of the flex is in the top third of the blank (mid-tip to tip flex action depending on the model) and they are a delight to cast and fish with good power reserves for taming larger catches and carrying longer casts.
