June 9, 2010 Great Bay Rod Company (www.greatbayrods.com) announces three additions to the Evolution Saltwater Fly Rod Series. These three rods will compliment and expand this highly successful rod series in one of the fastest growing segments of the fly fishing community.
These new models incorporate several advanced design concepts that include very aggressive rod taper and an industry-first angled stripping guide. The steep taper allows fly fishers to cast quickly to moving fish. Once they hook up, the power found deep in the rod butt provides extra strength for an angler to fight these large fast running fish. Simply put, you will be able to turn and tame the largest and fastest species found in any saltwater environment.
The 9 foot 3-piece rods feature an extra-fast action taper and proprietary high modulus graphite. Components include a genuine ALPS triangular locking reel seat, premium extended full wells grip with a fighting butt and titanium REC guides. An aluminium rod tube and bag are included to protect your fly rod.
The rods are grain rated to allow the fly angler to use a wide range of fly lines and line tapers while targeting their favorite species of inshore and offshore saltwater game fish. The Force/MV1 is rated at 190-220 grains, the Force/MV2 at 260-300 grains and the Force/MV3 at 350-400 grains.
"We are extremely proud to introduce this supercharged line of fly rods. The Force/MV has been a labor of love over the last year designed withboth the innovation and features that people have come to expect from Great Bay Rod Company. The rod concepts and prototypes were extensively field tested in Australia on big fish found in some of the toughest waters in the world. Derek McKenzie Outdoors, our international distributor in Australia and New Zealand, has coordinated the team of both professional and veteran recreational anglers. Great Bay Rod Company builds fly rods the same way you, the fly fisher, would build them if you owned the company." said David Gibson, President of Great Bay Rod Company.
All three models will be showcased at the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show at the Colorado Convention Center in September along with other new innovations in fly rod design planned for release by Great Bay Rod Company later in the year.
