BARRIO LC903 AND LC905 CUSTOM FLY RODS ( New for 2010 )

Our new 3wt and 5wt fly rods, researched and developed by David Norwich and Mike Barrio.

Designed, rolled and built in David's workshop in the Scottish Borders, our new, attractive, 3 piece teal blue blanks have been crafted by a true rodmaker, somebody that eats, sleeps and dreams about fly rod lengths, diameters, actions and tapers ….. not so very different from my addiction to fly line tapers I guess!

The new Barrio LC series are outstanding custom built fly rods, featuring our new exclusively designed blanks and top quality components. A nickel silver reel seat with a box elder burl wooden insert, lightweight single leg rings and a top quality flor grade cork handle, lathe turned to our custom reverse half wells design.

These are super crisp, accurate and sensitive fly rods. Our new exclusive taper design powers up and loads quickly for close range tactics, the tip section offers delicacy at short to mid range, yet the unique blank design allows a dimension in fly line control that will amaze when you push your casting to extreme distance.

The Barrio LC series has been designed to excel with today's modern longbelly fly lines ( including of course, the new Barrio GT140 Fly Line ) Our new rods have fast recovery with powerful reserves, yet they retain that elusive "feel" that is so often lost in this kind of rod.

Equally at home on our rivers and lochs, the new Barrio fly rods are simply a pleasure to fish with!

Barrio custom built fly rods with individual serial numbers
The Barrio LC905 fly rod

Comfortable at all distances and giving great feedback, our new rods allow impressive line and loop control, which helps to make presentation casts that much easier and carrying longer lengths of fly line that more enjoyable.

Each Barrio fly rod carries an individual custom serial number and comes supplied with an original tartan rod bag crafted by Inverurie kilt maker Christine Dow and a heavy duty olive cordura rod tube with shoulder carry strap made by Steve Trigg.

The new Barrio LC903 and LC905 custom fly rods are now available to buy and their price is £375

We carry a limited number of Barrio LC903 and LC905 custom fly rods in stock, but these are not mass produced fly rods with "off the shelf" availability.

Please Contact Mike Barrio via email before using the add to cart buttons, to ask for the current availability of your rod, or to arrange for a rod to be built for you.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY … If you are in the Aberdeenshire area, please come along to the fishery and have a cast with our demonstrator rods.

Best Wishes ….. Mike Barrio
