Who is this fly rod for?
The BEAST Fly Rod Series — expertly crafted for fly fishers targeting fierce aquatic predators like pike, zander (pike-perch), and hucho taimen or for chasing big browns and saltwater giants such as haddock, coalfish, and halibut.
Each of the three rods in the BEAST series is engineered to handle the unique challenge of casting large, heavy, air-resistant flies while providing the power and finesse needed to battle aggressive predators.
With a Flex Profile just under 1/2 (where nearly half the rod bends under moderate load), these rods offer smooth bending curves and impressive recovery speeds.

Materials
This 4-piece rod is made from premium 40T carbon with a 30T carbon tip.
The BEAST rods are equipped with titanium frame stripping guides with SiC rings and hard chrome-plated snake guides, making them suitable for saltwater environments.

Packaging
The BEAST series comes in a polybag in an elegant Cordura rod tube.

Color
The BEAST’s signature look includes a matte purple-carbon finish that shimmers when angled upwards, revealing a purple hue on the carbon blank. Point the rod downward, and the purple disappears, leaving behind the sleek carbon finish. Black wrappings and silver accents complete the distinctive design.

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.
