Barrio Lightweight
Aimed at the small stillwater and small to medium river angler, the "Barrio Lightweight" is a crisp, middle action fly rod, which for the technical flyfisher produces CCS figures of an AA of 50 and an ERN of 3.8
The tip section is built as lightly as possible to improve feel and sensitivity by speeding up the recovery rate. The use of light weight fine wire rings and low build epoxy help to keep the weight down and a nickel silver and hardwood reel seat with top quality cork add to the high quality finish.
It is a fly rod that will both flatter the novice and delight the expert, with it's easy, yet technically rewarding medium action and quick recovery.
A rod to cope with most species of trout, it has the backbone to play larger fish, but still emphasise the fun in playing the smaller ones.
Primarily designed with size 12 to 20 dry flies and spiders in mind, this fly rod will also cast a weighted nymph when necessary.
The Barrio loads best with a floating line in either DT3 or WF4 and allows the use of tippets from 2 to 6 lb with complete confidence.
This rod does the hard work for you, allowing you to concentrate on getting the fly to the correct spot.
So go on, experience the lighter side of life, control the cast, feel the fish, but most of all ……….. Just enjoy being out there!
Self Build Fly Rod Kits
We can also offer the Barrio Fly Rod as a self build kit for rod builders. These should hopefully be available in reasonable numbers.
The kits contain all the basic components required to build one of our fly rods, including the rod blank, reel seat and wooden insert, cork handle, hook keeper, a full set of rings, wrapping thread for the rings and some basic instructions to help you along the way.
** Please note that epoxy, rod tube and tartan rod bag are not supplied with the fly rod kit **
