A good blank should be particularly resonant.

Tightline nymphing requires a long, light rod that allows you to cast a two-nymph assembly with ease, control its drift and feel how the nymphs behave in the water.

Specific to Tightline nymphing, a good blank needs to be particularly resonant, so as to transmit bottom contacts as well as hits, which can be subtle. Thanks to their geometry and light weight, Lighthouse blanks are magnificently sensitive, even on light assemblies.

In the specifications, we had in mind that the nymph angler may decide at any time to change fishing mode and take out line to attack a Dry fly gobble. In other cases, he may prospect with a large dry fly and a nymph in tandem. So these Blanks also had to be perfectly capable of whipping a Silk.

Their responsiveness and precise tip control make them excellent casters, a delight on fine line. The size, power and versatility of our blanks make them ideal for typical European rivers and fishing styles. Their glare-free satin finish allows particularly discreet approaches, crucial when fishing for wary fish at short distances.

Our power recommendations specify both ball sizes for weighted nymphs, and Silk numbers.

Recommended nymphs: 2.2 - 4mm balls Recommended silks: normal WF2 to light WF3.
