The Elevation series is a super light and smooth medium fast action range of rods. Designed for anglers at all levels. Utilising sustainable production and eco friendly components.

Elevation Rods utilises the very latest in material and pattern technology, as well as featuring several more environmentally friendly components, these rods are revolutionary.

We have now started the journey towards more sustainable products at Guideline and this Rod series will show the way for future rod production. We have worked hard and into the details to do whatever is possible to make these rods the best choice for those anglers who care about the environment.The new rod blank development process eliminates any unnecessary material in each section. It also gives us the possibility to monitor power in every part of the blank much more accurately than before. These rods are extremely light and responsive (9 #5 is 72g / 2,53oz), and yet the strongest standard rods we have created.

In general the rods have a sensitive and protective tip that is very stable and crisp, with a smooth progressive curve further down the blank with a powerful butt section. The action is easy to cast, forgiving and produce accurate casts at high line speed. The rods have great line feel and you will easily connect to the rod to all types of casts. Summed up these are top modern rods with light feel and an action that suits anglers at all levels. Please note not all rods are in stock, so please allow at least business 10 days for delivery

ROD MODELS

Elevation 9ft #4-5-6: The 4 and 5 wt are typical all-round trout rods for dries, nymphs and lighter streamers. The 6wt is the choice for bigger flies, bigger fish and more windy conditions.

Elevation 9ft #7-8-9: Typical rods for the heavier fishing after migratory trout, pike, salmon, seatrout and bonefish. These rods suit rivers, lakes, coastal and flats fishing where big fish and demeaning conditions are common. Unique balance and weight for rods in this category.

Elevation 9’9ft #6-7-8: Rods made for both lake and river fishing after trout, seatrout and salmon. The new length of 9’9ft is the ultimate compromise between 9’6 and 10ft. It gives you the power of the 9’6ft and the reach/distance of the 10ft. Lighter, crisper and better feel than the 10ft.

THE MORE ECO FRIENDLY DETAILS

• Matte, lightly buffedblanks with no added coloration which gives them a dark graphite grey apperance.Any possible, excessive carbon waste particles are collected in separatetank before water is passed on to community cleaning facility. The blanks have asoft spiral pattern and thin, matte coating.
• New, improved full wells gripsof 3A cork without rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy-resins needed in the grips. Even the lighter rods have a small cork butt, and from 9 #7 and up there are full size fighting butts on all rods.
• Metal parts of reel seats are clear anodized which is the least toxic process possible when using aluminium reel seats. We use no chrome (lead) or paint in the anodizing bath.
• For the coatings on blank, guides and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, weuse a bio-based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better workingatmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odours to aminimum.
• Rods are mounted with light wire single leg guides and KW style stripper guides. We use a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame. Best sustainable choice, still hard and with no chrome plating, which contains lead.
• Rod bag and rod tube cover aremade ofrecycled REPREVE polyester.
• The rodtubes are made of recycable Polypropylene (PP), they arelighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. Thiswill save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user. Given its durability and the possibility to melt and reform into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods.
• All rods are 4-piece.
