Rovdyret. Få følelsen av glass med kraften til karbon.

Den ultimate stangen for de store guttene. Gjedde, Abbor, Zander .... denne stangen vil håndtere dem med letthet.

Kast store fluer på kort, middels og langt hold. Rask brann.

Predator kan sette mye artilleri ned rekkevidde i rask rekkefølge, dekke mye vann, og utløse de sinte reaksjonene fra rovfisker som lurer.

The true through action av Predator er designet for å holde deg i konstant kontakt med store fluer. Mobbe de store fiskene ut av ugresset og underskogen, bruke stengene full action, ikke bare tuppen.

Og som om ytelsen ikke var nok, har vi designet Predator med et flammet mahogny, umalt emne. En ting av skjønnhet.

Rovdyret går tilbake til tiden da stenger hadde sjel. Ganske enkelt et formidabelt sett.

Rovdyret

Action designed to maintain connection with large flies on floating or sinking fly lines. Through action bends into the handle to cast smooth open loops with large predator flies. Pike, Perch, Zander, Saltwater species.

Best Pike Rod I've Ever Used. The action was perfect to cast medium sized flies with very little back casting space.

Think big stuff. Delivers bigger flies with great line speed and accuracy.

Rod action

Full action curve designed to cast wider loops for bigger flies. The rod tip follows the flies on the back and forward cast, eliminating those bounces you get when casting larger flies. Powerful butt section with loads of shock absorption. Perfect for pike and species that jump with head shakes. Great river Salmon rod.

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?

I can fish the fly right in, I mostly get Pike taking at my feet. With 2 false casts the fly is on the other bank again. That's what I needed.

Designing the Rovdyret

All Predator rods I had tried were too stiff.

I removed the bounce you get when casting large air resistant flies. I also made it quick loading so you can fish flies right into the margins.

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.

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.

Golden Dorado in Bolivia

A week of thousands of casts, rock scrambling, boat work and very spooky fish.

I’d taken a few rods Inc. two 9wt rods one with scientific angler jungle line, and one with a Sunray micro line. Both rods performed so well, super capable at distance casting, very precise, and the tip flex proved so useful with aerial, livid fish. Maintaining connection and vital elasticity on these super powerful Amazonian predictors. The paring of the Sunray rod and line helped enormously with the endless casting and its physical impact, the lighter Sunray line felt really direct, an extension of the rod and arm. The scientific anglers line was easily shot across bigger spans of river but in hindsight why sling heavy all day when you can sling light?! Go Sunray across rod and line. The ability to steer fish was easily managed with this set up. No issues managing and wrestling a fish away from rocks and trees mid river.

Rods were paired with Nautilus nv- g reels and proved really balanced with this set up.

My guides all tried the rods, and loved the tip flexibility, and its impact on accuracy of casting and aerial fish management. I saw a number of fish lost to less flexible tips, on more expensive rods due to direct contact between fish and reel without the buffer to impact resistance provided by a softer tip.

Amazing rods, bang on purpose. Take them to the wild wild fish!

Best Pike Rod I've Ever Used

The action was perfect to cast medium sized flies with very little back casting space, I’d move up to the #9 for larger flies. The size of the 3 Torzite K Series strippers means that I can have the head in the rings, strip to my feet and get the full head out again to recast in one false cast. Perfect with the obstructions behind us and for these lethal Pike flies. This fish took at my feet and the rod, being softer, took the impact and played this fish perfectly. It’s as though the tip follows the fish making it impossible to escape. Stiffer rods create shock between fish and rod, especially at short distance and you lose fish. I can’t recommend this rod enough.

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.
