NAV PRO Fly Rod – Bertrand Jacquemin Signature 9'2" (#4 Weight)

Our take on the NAV Pro

Developing a rod hand in hand with Bertrand Jacquemin, World and European champion, means starting straight from the very top level of sight nymphing. The NAV Pro is one of the most accurate rods we have ever offered for this technique: casting precision, responsiveness on the strike, cushioning the fish's runs, everything is designed to turn a sighting into a catch. The telling detail, the laser-engraved signature on the grip, is a reminder of where this rod comes from.

Designed with a world champion for sight nymphing

An action built for precision and control

The NAV Pro was developed for precise fishing: spot the fish, then present the nymph with a perfectly natural drift. Its specific action delivers outstanding casting precision and therefore a flawless drift, two decisive points in sight nymphing. It has been tested both on very large fish and with the finest tippets, with enough power in reserve to control trophy fish while still using fine tippets. To get the best out of this action, pair it with a WF4.

A carbon-graphene blank and premium components

The construction combines high-performance carbon and graphene for a blank that is light, responsive and particularly stable while fishing. Every component was chosen in the same spirit: Seaguide Lightwire guides to keep the whole build light, a bronze-finish reel seat with a wood insert, and Bertrand Jacquemin's laser-engraved signature on the grip, underlining the exclusive character of the series. It naturally takes its place among our built fly rods, at the most technical end of the range. A coherent package, thought through from the blank to the final balance, for anglers looking for a sight-nymphing rod that is sensitive, precise and dependable on the fish.

I wanted this rod to reflect me and the fishing I have practised for over 40 years: sight nymphing. It is a tough rod with a soft heart that will bring you satisfaction in every situation, along with all the emotions sight nymphing has to offer. Bertrand Jacquemin.
