This is our most powerful fly rod. In fact, it is probably the most powerful fly rod for lifting giant saltwater fish from deep water. HP 7815/3 is made from a nearly unbreakable composite of fiberglass and graphite, and the 7' 8" length provides tremendous leveraging power. To this date, none of these rods have ever been broken on a fish. At a recent fly fishing show, a customer tied a 15-weight fly line around his friend and pulled so hard with the rod that the line itself broke, recoiling the angler into the casting pond. This is an unlimited bluewater fly rod.
