While not always the case, this rule does ring true for many warmwater and saltwater fisheries with anglers casting larger flies than ever before. With a powerful but comfortable casting action, the new PAYLOAD series of rods are designed to help anglers cast those heavy lines and big flies more effectively. Whether launching a double-articulated streamer to the far bank with the 689-4 or dredging the Sacramento Delta with the 989-4, anglers will notice how easy it is to hurl a heavy line and big fly with the PAYLOAD.Featuring a fast action for casting large flies and very powerful tip to help pick up heavy lines off the water, the PAYLOAD is tuned for the extreme. These powerful mid sections then transition to a more forgiving butt that allows for a slower and more relaxed casting stroke that reduces fatigue. This softer butt section also allows for more leverage while fighting fish, making it easier to gain ground on hard fighting species. The slightly shorter lengths offer a more effortless cast through a shorter lever and is better for landing fish out of a boat over a traditional 9’0” rod.BENEFITSTailored for casting large or wind resistant fliesIncreased pick-up of heavy line off the waterMore leverage for fighting powerful fishFEATURESKonnetic TechnologyTannin blank colorBurgundy primary thread wraps with Bronze trim wrapsTangle Free Fuji ceramic stripper guidesOversized hard chromed snake guides and tip-topHeavy duty aluminum up-locking reel seat to withstand rugged environmentsSuper Plus full-wells cork handleCork composite fighting butt with extended 3” rear grip on the 10+ and 11+ sizesBlack ballistic rod tube with embroidered logoLINE RECOMMENDATIONSWarmwater: RIO DirectCore JungleColdwater: RIO InTouch StriperTrout Streamer: RIO StreamerTipPike / Musky: RIO InTouch Pike / MuskyMODELS689-4: Line: 6+ (Grains: 200 - 230gr) - Trout streamers and light duty bass bugs789-4: Line: 7+ (Grains: 230 - 270gr) - Boogle bugs to large trout streamers889-4: Line: 8+ (Grains: 270 - 320gr) - Minnows, clousers, whistlers, and poppers989-4: Line: 9+ (Grains: 320 - 370gr) - Pike flies, large poppers, and large baitfish1090-4: Line: 10+ (Grains: 370 - 420gr) - Pike flies up to 12”1193-4: Line: 11+ (Grains: 420 - 480gr) - Musky flies 12” +ModelLineLengthWeightHandleTube Size689-46+8'9"3 7/8ozFull Wells31 5/8"789-47+8'9"4 1/16ozFull Wells31 5/8"889-48+8'9"4 1/2ozFull Wells31 5/8"989-49+8'9"4 13/16ozFull Wells31 5/8"1090-410+9'5 11/16ozFull Wells31 5/8"1193-411+9'3"5 15/16ozFull Wells31 5/8" Orders Processed and Filled by Gorge Fly Shop - Hood River OregonInternational Buyers – Please Note:We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms.
