I have had 2 previous Sunray rods both of which I have loved. First was a Volition and the next a Livestream. When my wife and I retired she took up fishing and she took the Volition and I kept the Livestream, however I stupidly laid it down last week and a fish dragged it to the centre of the loch. To that end I ordered the Technique and another for my wife. We had our first outing today and both caught fish. The day started windy and we were fishing lures which were easily cast with the rod. After a shift of position we were fishing dries which were delicately presented and accounted for the fish we caught. The rods easily subdued the fish and were a joy to use. Would highly recommend especially at this reduced price.
The Sunray Technique rod was really buttery smooth, just like the description of the rod's characteristics. I am really satisfied with this rod - draws a smoother and fantastic loop.👍👍👍
Thanks for the lovely review Hojin and the great photo too, from Team Sunray.
really nice rod to cast and the action when playing a fish is nice and forgiving,bought this rod at a great price,fantastic service from sunray.
Great to know the Technique rod is performing well for you! Its casting ease and gentle action are perfect for any angler.
I have found all sunray products to be of the highest quality and the technique rod is no exception. Having tried a technique rod some months back I knew I had to have one from the first cast.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our products, and it’s fantastic to know that the Technique Rod has made such an impression on you from the very first cast.
We truly appreciate your support and are so glad that our products are helping enhance your fishing experience.
Myself and a pal had the honour of visiting Tom at his home today for some really great advice and all the help anyone could hope for from an expert pro fly fisherman, we even drove home with a fab rod and reel set up. So thank you Tom now please send me a bill. Mike T.
Wonderful action and a great finish with rod bag and tube
The return of feeling to fly rods. A deep action that bends progressively as the cast needs deeper load. Unlike stiff rods that cast and play fish from the tip, the Technique will allow a deeper bend to cast smoother loops and present straighter leaders.

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.
Exceptional delicate presentation rod. Great for stillwaters bank & boat.
Full action with fast tip recovery. Feels softer than most carbon fly rods. Feels lighter in the hand than stiffer rods. Perfect for smoother loops and straighter casts. Best fishing floating lines and sinking lines in the top 5 foot of water. Casts small, medium and large flies. Protects light tippets and offers more shock absorption than stiffer rods.
Titanium Fuji Torzite® strippers & smoked nickel snakes guides. AAA cork handle, cnc aluminium reel seat. Cordura rod tube, airmesh breathable rod sock.
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?
Great casting rod -rewards a smooth caster. Already improved on my maximum casting distance. Its very good when playing a fish, lots of spring in the rod - like a super shock absorber. Highly rec

Designing the Technique Fly Rod
Power of carbon. Feeling of glass.
The action sytarted with a fibreglass rod I had. I wanted the light weight and fast tip recovery of carbon with the feeling of glass.
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.
