This is my latest model of my line up “The Pride” 7’8” 4wt it is a progressive taper.

Finished the rod with aluminium hardware and a PEI butt.(What is one of my signature details on rods)

The matching agate and Snake Brand guides are wrapped with Pearsall’s gossamer.

This rod is heading to Japan.

Hope you like it,

Nico

Nico, Attractive looking fly rod. Curious to hear how the action compares to your "The Pure" 7' 2" five weight.

The Pride is a crispy and progressive taper wit the most flex in the upper part of the rod, great for fishing with nymph and dry fly. The Pure is full parabolic and as Fred Paddock described a nice click in the top what gives a bit more power, The Pride has the same click. Both rods are very accurate.

Nico, Appreciate your added description and comparison of the action of each fly rod. Really enjoyed casting The Pure previously. Like the added length on The Pride and while different from The Pure as you describe, imagine it also is sweet to cast.
