Inyo - 12.3ft.

The Inyo is a fixed line fly rod that excels at deep water applications and tightline / euro nymphing action. The balanced fast action will throw larger weights and bring in bigger fish faster. Love to cast dry flies? No worries, the Inyo will throw floating lines just right.

A Tenkara Rod The Does More

The Inyo is designed to do more than a traditional Tenkara because of its excellent nymphing qualities combined with its ability to cast traditional floating lines for high performance dry fly fishing. The action was tweaked extensively to achieve this, along with the length of the sections (which were lengthened beyond the original concept to get to the right flex required).

If you want a rod that excels at nymphing and getting positive strikes in pocket water, but you don’t want to sacrifice the ability to dry fly, then the Inyo is the rod for you.

Why No Zoom?

While zoom appears to be all the rage, we resisted the tempration based on the belief (verfied through testing) that to make the absolute best casting and balanced rod, a single length was the best design. In additon, we continue to observe that most folks with zoom rods, rarely use the zoom feature. :) Anyway, shoot us an email if you think we should zoom out the Inyo.

Specs & Action

Numbers

• In the Inyo is 12.3 feet long, weighs 3.4 ounces (with no plug), and collapses to 25.5 inches.

Fast Action

• The Inyo is a fast action rod with a Rod Flex Index of 7.5 (the fast action range is 6.6 - 8.5), with a CCS rating of 28 pennies. Find out more about RFI and CCS here. The result is a rod that is fast action but NOT so stiff as too as to make it less worthy when casting lighter presentations.

• The Inyo comes with a non-rotating lillian but a rotating lillian is available. Click here.

Handle Grip

• The handle allows for a variety of grip options. One option we recommend is to grip the rod at the top of the handle, this helps balance the rod and aids in casting.

2 Tone Color

• The camo model green color of the handle is paired with black on all extended sections. We liked the 2 tone color look and appreciate that black is a good color to have over the water.

Tippet Rating & Fish Capability

• The tippet rating is 6X - 4.5X. The Inyo has the backbone to generate positive strikes in deeper pocket water and control larger fish (in the 4-6 lb. range). The Inyo is a tough rod and keeping the sections to a minimum (7) resulted in stronger wall flexibility and durability.

Warranty and Service

The Inyo comes with extra tip sections and a LIFETIME WARRANTY. Like all of our products, if you have an issue, call us and we will fix the issue so you can go back to fishing. It’s that simple.
