Who is this fly rod for?
The FONNA fly rods are exceptional all-round rods, perfect for targeting brown trout, sea trout, or even salmon in smaller rivers. With this series, we have crafted an ideal rod for those looking to try our innovative designs at a more accessible price point, while still expecting top-notch quality and a unique casting experience.
Each rod in the FONNA series features a carefully selected Flex Profile, which determines how much of the rod bends under moderate load. Ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted bending curve has been one of our top priorities.
The FONNA is ideal for customers who want to enjoy the Free-Flex feeling at a slightly lower price but still seek a high-quality fly rod.
Available in line weights #3 to #7, the FONNA series offers versatility for various casting styles. The #3-#5 models are perfect for those who prefer slower, softer presentation casts, while the #6 and #7 models, with their fast action, guarantee long and powerful casts, all while providing excellent "feel" thanks to the deep bending Free-Flex system.

Materials

Color
The design of the FONNA series perfectly complements the industrial style of our handle. The blank is simply sanded and protected with a transparent matte coating, allowing the carbon color, texture, and reinforcements to remain visible, giving the rod a modern, rugged look. The glossy black wrappings add just the right touch of elegance.

Switch-Flex System
The Switch-Flex System (patent pending), offers flexibility in a class of its own.
This revolutionary system allows you to seamlessly switch fly rod blanks within the same handle in a matter of seconds. Whether you need to transition from a delicate 3wt rod for precision casting to a heavy 10wt rod for battling larger fish, the Switch-Flex System makes it possible with just a few quick adjustments.
This innovative design also offers a range of practical benefits:
- Travel light by carrying up to three rod blanks in a single rod tube, significantly reducing the bulk and weight of your gear.
- Save money by eliminating the need to purchase multiple complete rods for different situations.
- And, by minimizing the amount of equipment you need, it also reduces your environmental footprint, aligning your passion for fishing with a commitment to sustainability.
The Switch-Flex Handle is constructed with high-modulus carbon (40%) for exceptional strength and light weight, combined with maritime-grade silicone for a secure grip and lasting durability, even in saltwater conditions. The reel seat is crafted from lightweight 6061 aluminum and type 2 hard anodized for superior durability, designed to withstand harsh saltwater conditions.
