Loomis and Franklin NX8

The Loomis and Franklin NX8 fly rods are engineered with strong focus on technology and real fishing performance, offering exceptional casting accuracy, comfort and durability. The high modulus Japanese carbon blank combined with advanced resins provides an extremely light, responsive and strong structure for better sensitivity and longer, more accurate casts.

A special carbon reinforcement in the upper section improves responsiveness and reduces torsion during line projection. Premium cork handles and a 6061-T6 aluminium reel seat with carbon insert ensure comfort and strength. The series is available in four specific lengths and line ratings to match different fishing styles:

• 9’6” line #3/4: a balanced compromise between 9’ and 10’, very versatile; keeps the line off the water when dry fly fishing and improves line control while nymphing in current
• 9’ line #4 and 9’ line #5: highly versatile rods for a wide range of techniques from dry fly to submerged and long nymph methods; fast action for quick and powerful response in streams and large rivers
• 10’ line #2/3 and 10’6” line #2/3: perfect for modern nymph fishing, offering fast action and excellent bite sensitivity; the 10’6” excels in competition thanks to superior control and precision
• 10’ line #7/8: ideal length for lakes and wide waters, designed for long distance casting and reaching fish spread in deeper areas

The NX8 range lets you choose the perfect setup for your technique, delivering a reliable, high-performance and technically advanced fly rod for both competitive and dedicated anglers.
