North Fork Composites engineering for Euro Nymphing

A 38-gram high modulus carbon blank by Gary Loomis

The FAF 1001-4 blank comes from the expertise of Gary Loomis at North Fork Composites. Its structure uses a complex combination of 40T and 50T carbon to ensure maximum resonance when detecting the most subtle takes. With a featherweight of only 38 grams, this model greatly reduces arm fatigue during extended fishing sessions. The four-piece design features Lite Joints, providing smooth energy transfer and a natural bend during fish fights.

Performance for Euro nymphing and increased stealth

This 10-foot model is specifically tuned for Euro nymphing techniques requiring the exclusive use of long nylon leaders. The Fast action allows instant hook sets and precise drift control in complex currents. Armor Resin technology effectively protects the carbon structure from accidental impacts of weighted nymphs during casts. Finally, the Matte X-Ray finish eliminates distracting reflections, keeping you completely stealthy against wary trout in clear water.
