The Lax-á single hand rods Lax-á 9´0” line 5/6 – 5-sections – All-round Trout This is a rather fast fly rod but with a smooth fighting curve. It’s a advantage with a faster rod in the lower fly rod classes. The wind won’t effect the cast and you will still be able to make a very narrow loop and thereby cast at distance. The All-round Trout was brought to life under brown trout fishing here on Iceland. The name All-round Trout really fits this rod. The rod will easily load with a short line do the lighter tip but the progressive action will really put out you fly at distance. It performs well with small dry flies but also big “buggers”. The All-round Trout is made as a 5-sections rod making it a easier travel friend to bring along with you.
Lax-á 9´6” line 7/8 – 5-sections – Light Salmon This medium/fast fly rod was made along the bank of Midtfjardará which is a river that can be very demanding to the angler. Crystal clear water and spooky fish. Most of the fishing is delicate presentation so there for we designed our own rod to do this job. The Light Salmon is a presentation rod that can carry from small hitch flies up to the big Francis flies that we use to pull the “sleepy” salmon up from the deep holes. We also recommend trying this rod for sea trout in both the rivers and on the coast. The Light Salmon is made as a 5-sections rod making it a easier travel friend to bring along with you.
The Lax-á double handed rods Lax-á 12´6” line 8/9 – 4-sections – Medium Salmon A very nice and light double handed rod that is very suitable for lighter fishing on low water conditions, presentation fishing or sea trout fishing in Argentina. Under the making of this rod we had great success on the West Rangá fishing it with a 10.8 meter sink tip belly and a fast sink poly leader. The fly was a Sunray Shadow.
Lax-á 14´0” line 9/10 – 4-sections – Heavy Salmon This is a real high performance salmon tool. This rod really gets your bulky fly at the distance without using any effort. Even though it’s a powerful rod it is not a stiff stick. It’s such a great rod to battle big strong salmon thanks to the deep powerful curve. The rod was developed along the banks of East Rangá where we often use sink tip lines/fast sink poly leaders with heavy flies at the end. The Heavy Salmon generates so much energy that you won’t fell the sinking part of the line and the big fly when casting.
