SONIC

The SONIC two-handed collection of rods place all the remarkable benefits of Konnetic Technology in both of your hands. Its lighter weight and decidedly thinner profile are welcome assets over a long day of fishing, reducing casting fatigue and minimizing wind resistance for tireless casts. Thanks to the shaft’s significantly enhanced torsional stability, the rod recovers quickly as it moves through the cast, optimizing load carry and line speed for long, smooth, flawless casts every time. With power to lift heavy tips out of the water and the precision to place the perfect touch-and-go anchor, the SONIC Spey and Switch rods are great multi-discipline tools that cover most any swinging scenario. Available in 11’6” Switch rods, the perfect length for smaller waters where there may be overhanging tree branches or steep grassy banks, and longer 13’6” Spey rods, fantastic for reaching out across a big run and swinging everything from the far bank to the inside water.

The 12’6” #5 Weight is our favorite new summer steelhead spey rod here at Rogue Valley Anglers Fly Shop! All the models are great, but this one is especially fun for rivers like the Rogue and Klamath.
