ANGEL 2 FLY ROD
Howard Croston, the specialist product adviser and England Team
Member, explains exactly what we were trying to achieve with the Angel.
"Our objectives were to make the lightest, most responsive rod ever
made. We wanted a rod that could deliver great performance with a minimum
of effort. And that’s what we’ve done. The Angel gives great loop
formation, and you can point, lift and shoot out a line with bull’s-eye
accuracy. It is as close as we can get to that indescribable buzz you feel
when you pick up a rod that you know instantly is made for you. The Angel
isn’t just physically light – we’ve shaved half an ounce
off virtually every other comparable fl y rod in
the world - but it feels light."
"So, we’ve built the best rod in the world. Where did we go from
there? Well, to the guides and the ghillies of the world. We put the Angel
through a whole year of trials in every conceivable climate and water type
- for fish big and small. Long casting. Short casting. Baking hot or freezing
cold, the Angel has been there and done it. I’ve lived with the rod
for well over a year and it’s truly great. I love it. Definitely my favorite rod.â€Â
We also realize that the best rod in the world deserves to see the world
so we’ve built a multi-piece Smuggler version. This breaks down into
a rod tube short enough to fit into any suitcase, holdall or aircraft locker
so that you never need to go anywhere without your guardian Angel.
The
Angel has won a host of awards and received fantastic reviews world
wide. It's the most talked about range for years. The hope we had for
it during its development have been more than realized. Its lightness
and fast tip action gives incomparable loop formation. You can point,
lift and shoot out a line with unerring accuracy. • Highest all-round performance available
• Ultra-slim profile blanks reduce wind-drag
• Low-profile internal spigot system gives improved power transfer through
the rod
• Unique blend of ultra-high and high-intermediate modulus carbon fiber
for incredible recovery
