I bought the 10’#4 wow it’s a lovely lovely rod with loads of feel and really light weight, I also luv the fact it’s a 5 piece meaning it packs down much smaller than the usual 4 piece rods. Many thanks Colin.
The Microlite GT really is a thing of beauty, and we're pleased you're loving yours. Thanks Colin!
Some nice grayling caught on Sunday, most to a Grayling Slayer. Microlite GT 10' 4 weight is incredibly versatile for dry fly or various nymphing methods.
I’ve been using this rod for about a month & have been very impressed with its performance. Here is a list of what I like about it:
• It has a crisp but progressive action that does several things. It effectively casts a wide range of line weights from a 0.55mm diameter micronymph line to a 4 weight. It is forgiving enough to give good protection to light tippets (0.10mm/7x)
• The stand-off single leg rings hold the wet line off the blank which improves casting distance
• The matt black finish helps to reduce the risk of spooking fish
• The super-slim quality cork handle is very comfortable & not excessively long
• The high quality down-locking reel seat & light-weight blank & fittings help with the rod balance when Euronymphing
In my opinion this is not a rod for bullying big fish whilst using heavy tippets, or for fishing big streamers. It is also not a rod for casting huge distances, but it is capable of casting just a 20’ leader in calm conditions, whilst performing well at all normal casting distances. It is a rod for finesse-fishing, perfect for dry fly work with 5x to 8x tippets & for Euronymphing. So far I have landed wild brown trout up to 3lb 7oz with it & this rod bends right down to the butt whilst playing these big fish, absorbing all of their plunges & surges.
Second one need I say anything more
Cracking rods
I have purchased a number of items from Sunray - multiple lines, reels, leaders etc and all have been top quality.
The Microlite GT is another exceptional product from Sunray and I am over the moon with the quality, the feel, the presentation and the action of the rod.
I utilise the whole Sunray system i.e products that have been designed to be used in tandom to create a complete package.
3wt Microlite GT, 3wt short to medium distance micro thin line, line slick - can't beat it. This combination has performed on small rivers, small stillwaters and even bank fishing at Bewl water. My Vision, LOOP & Wychwood rods are now confined to the back of the shed.
Thanks for the great review....delighted to hear you're enjoying your Sunray gear.
I agree, I have not lost a fish since buying my micro 4 #. I like how it will bend through to the handle. Every fish feels like 5lb. I have 13 fly rods, and have not used any of them since I got the micro light in 2 years
Now that's what we like to hear Mick.
Microlite GT
Lovely progressive action with great build quality and components. Delivers casts softly and accurately - very effective on spooky trout in clear water. Oh and 5 pieces make it easy to transport.
The ultimate light line rod. River dries, nymphing and stillwater delicate fishing.
Tip action with an ultra slim blank that bends when required. Will play small and large fish equally well without snapping the tippet. Delicate presentations with fast recovery, but tonnes of feeling. The rod feels so light you can't believe it will handle bigger flies and bigger fish but it does. A true light line classic action.
Fuji Torzite titanium rod guides. AAA cork handle. Airmesh rod sock. Carbon rod tube.
Don't take our word for it. Ask Fuji.
30% lighter guides
TORZITE®: TORZITE is Fuji's answer to the ultimate ceramic ring. This new material is smoother and tougher than SiC, with better fracture resistance, higher polish and enough strength to reach SiC performance levels in a narrower ring that is up to 30% lighter than SiC.
Airmesh. Breathable rod sock.
Protect your investment
Hexagonal perforated breathable mesh rod sock. Allows the rod to dry when you put it back in the tube. A wet rod can develop mould. Airmesh protects your prize rod.
Why is it ok for competition casters but not us?
Reduced friction with sports mode
A well known trick in the competiton casting scene is turning your stripping guides 45 degrees off centre. We've given you alignment guides to do just that. Stops the wet fly line touching the wet rod during the back cast. Redcued line stick, further distance.

So what is Torzite® exactly?
Not lost a fish since buying my 4#. I like how it bends through to the handle. Every fish feels like 5lb.

Designing the Microlite GT
"I knew a fly rod with a solid carbon tip would work"
When we built the #0 we knew a solid carbon tip would create a World's first. 4 of the sections use push over joints and the tip section uses a push in joint. That meant I could get the diameter change from section to section correct. The taper from butt to tip is very shallow. This makes an extraordinarily sensitive rod.
The trend towards stiff 'fast action' rods started in the late 80's and hasn't stopped. Sunray have been repairing that trend since 2014.
Our fly rods absorb the shock of fighting fish.
A fly rod's primary function is shock absorption. Absorbing the head shakes and sudden runs of a fish means you can fish lighter tippets. Fishing lighter tippets means you can present smaller flies which represent the naturals more accurately.
You're in good hands. We've been shipping rods around the World for the last 15 years.
It's as good as buying a rod from a shop.
Free Worldwide Shipping on all Rods. That's right, zero, zilch, de nada.
What if I need to return a fly rod?
Simple, call our customer services or email support@sunrayflyfish.com. We will send you a pre paid returns label and ask you whether you'd like a refund or replacement.
Do your fly rods come with a warranty?
We offer a no none-sense 1 year money back guarantee if anything goes wrong with your rod, whether it was your fault or ours.
How do I know you are a good company?
We're not new to this. We formed in 2014 and we are the biggest direct to consumer fly fishing brand in the UK. We ship Worldwide and we get it there quickly.
Do you stock spare sections?
Yes, we stock sections of all our rods and can ship them Worldwide.
I ordered on Friday and it arrived on Saturday morning, amazing.
It took 7 days for the rod to reach me from the UK. It was faster than rods I've bought here in the States!
I couldn't believe how quick it was delieverd. It felt like I had just placed the order and it was there! All the way from the UK in a matter of days.

The ultimate light line rod. River dries, nymphing and stillwater delicate fishing.
Think big stuff. Delivers bigger flies with great line speed and accuracy.
Exceptional delicate presentation rod. Great for stillwaters bank & boat.
Lovely progressive action with great build quality and components. Delivers casts softly and accurately - very effective on spooky trout in clear water. Oh and 5 pieces make it easy to transport.
Best Pike Rod I've Ever Used. The action was perfect to cast medium sized flies with very little back casting space.
I now have 2 10ft 7 weights, I use them for nymphing from the bank at Farmoor, I set up one straight line the other a washing line, even with brutal takes my tippet doesn’t get smashed, lovely rods.
