Taniwha TSH 764 7'6" #4 olive S-glass fly rods (4-piece)

• End of line - 3 month warranty against faults for the original owner.

TSH blanks are made from uni-directional S-glass, a higher strain and faster recovery fiberglass almost identical in modulus to cane, with a helical wound S-glass scrim for improved hoop strength and faster blank recovery. Ferrules are tip-over-butt (not spigots).

The blank action is fast-medium to fast for glass with the initial flex mainly in the top third of the blank. The relaxed smoothness that is the hallmark of casting a fiberglass fly rod is retained, but with plenty of zip on line shoot and ample reserve power to fight larger fish or to lift and aerialise longer lines.

Taniwha S-helix series of fibre glass fly rod tapers are specified to my requirements through several prototype testing stages. They are made for us by 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. They offer excellent performance, and first class fit and finish at a surprisingly reasonable price for this quality.

Taniwha TSH 764 7'6" #4 model description 
A perfect rod for smaller streams and rivers fishing under the tree canopy.  Crisp pick up and flick action ideal for accurate dry fly and light-medium nymphing, single fly or duo rigs including beads up to 3mm and smaller lures or streamers.    Medium to medium-fast for glass action and plenty of power in reserve for that surprise small water lunker (see the last photo!).  

Superb quality blank and components at a great price. Taniwha Rodworks exclusive. These are semi-custom rods, pre-wrapped and partly pre- assembled.  This keeps the price very reasonable but also means that choices are limited to reel seats and available agate guides.  A few days are needed to fit your choice of reel seat before shipping.
