Sale price£399.00 GBP

You are pre-ordering from the first batch of 50 pieces from our Japanese factory. Delivery starts 1st Dec.

20 years of casting instruction. The latest Japanese carbon technology. One rod.

Built around Toray's latest high-modulus carbon fibre, the Sunray Signature drives tight, powerful loops and serious distance — with none of the stiffness that usually comes with it. The blank loads deep and recovers fast, putting power into the line, not your arm. It feels weightless, casts like nothing can stop it.

The finest fly rod our AAPGAI advanced instructor / designer Tom has ever made. His signature.

Specifications

The Sunray Signature is our flagship fast-action fly rod, engineered around Toray's T1100G carbon fibre — the same third-generation, high-modulus fibre found in Japan's most advanced lure and game rods. T1100G combines a tensile strength exceeding 6,000 MPa with a modulus above 300 GPa, letting the blank wall run roughly 30% thinner than conventional high-modulus carbon for the same strength. The result is a lighter, more responsive blank with faster recovery and dramatically reduced swing weight in hand.

Red dot design awards

A design classic

Designed from the ground up in three-dimensional CAD, refined through four-dimensional cnc routing, the CNC aluminium reel seat was submitted to the Red Dot Design Award — a design classic, not just a component. Light, strong, and precision-machined: it never loosens, never squeaks, never rattles. Effortless to operate. When form and function align, you get a reel seat you never knew you needed.

Designing the Sunray Signature T1100G Fast Action Fly Rod - Pre Order

I've been fly fishing 49 years, through fibreglass, the first carbon rods, and the ultra-fast blanks of the early '90s. I reacted against those, went softer and more progressive — lovely to cast, but they demand more thought to control the tip.

Ten years ago we built the Volition. I've brought that original blank back, reintroduced it with the new Japanese fibres, and tightened the midsection slightly. The result takes no thought to cast — anybody can pick it up — yet it generates the speed those old '90s rods promised. It's the feel of an ultra-light, modern progressive action: the high-end sports car version of what the '90s were reaching for.

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.

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.
