The Gunnison is our fast action fly rod built of carbon and nerve. Purpose built for speed and authority without overdoing it.
 
With most of the flex coming in the top third of the blank, the lower two-thirds stays firm and powerful. When you load it, the tip bends, stores energy quickly, then snaps back like a tightened bowstring. The result is higher line speed, tighter loops, and casts that cut through wind the way a drift boat slices a fast seam.
 
What That Means on the Water
 
Distance on demand – The Gunnison generates serious line speed, making 50 to 80 foot casts feel controlled instead of chaotic.
 
Wind resistance – Perfect for breezy afternoons when slower rods can start to feel like a wet noodle.
 
Bigger flies, heavier rigs – Indicator nymph rigs, streamers, split shot, even light saltwater setups. If the fish start rising though, The Gunnison still has the ability to deliver a dry fly with precision and accuracy.
 
Quick hooksets – Less blank flex means faster power transfer. When a trout eats, you’re connected now, not a split second later.
 
How It Feels
 
The sensation is crisp. Responsive. Precise.
 
You don’t “wait” for The Gunnison to catch up to your timing. It keeps up with you.
 
Beginners sometimes find fast rods less forgiving because timing matters more. But for intermediate to advanced anglers, especially those chasing distance, accuracy, or fishing technical water, The Gunnison feels like a finely tuned sports car. Steady hands are rewarded with explosive performance.
 
To Sum It Up
 
The Gunnison is built for power, precision, and punching through windy conditions when finesse alone won’t carry the day.
