Prestige Travel Fly Rod
The return of the Prestige fly rods in 4 and 6 pieces proved a very popular move. The original Prestige rods introduced way back in 1997 had been produced on Harrison blanks and to ensure the same pedigree with these latest models we once again requested the input from Steve Harrison in the preparation of these 21st century versions of an old favourite.
We also added top quality rings and reel fittings with genuine Cocobolo wood reel seats and each rod carries a lifetime guarantee. Matching cotton drill sleeve and light weight aluminium tube complete the package for ultimate protection, style and peace of mind.
The new 6 and 4-piece Prestige travel rods represent the top of the range for Snowbee and with so many destinations now being visited and fished with the fly, we decided it was high time we produced a rod range suitable for the Snowbee travelling fly fisher. In designing the new Snowbee rods the specification was simple, build the best quality rods we could, making no compromise on any of the materials or design requirements and going better than the Diamond Series by adding the expertise of a top designer like Steve Harrison to help us achieve our stretched objectives.
The use of the very latest and lightest 50T carbon blanks, provides an unbelievably light, effortless, crisp action. Tip recovery is almost instantaneous allowing precision casting with the finest of leaders. Powerful butt sections provide huge reserves of power for distance casting and taming the hardest fighting fish. At 6-pieces, the travel rods are still very lightweight and smuggle into the smallest suitcase or travel bag, so that no destination need be visited without one to hand.
In common with the original Prestige fly rods, this new range has a deep, rich Burgundy colour blank, with subtle matching whippings. Fitted with top quality PacBay nickel silver reel seats with genuine Cocobolo wood inserts, these quality rods more than live up to their ‘Prestige’ name.
Each rod comes in a deep claret, blended cotton drill rod bag and then for total protection when travelling, a quality, lightweight aluminium tube. The matt burgundy finish is complemented by the satin gold anodised end caps and screen printed in matching gold to complete the Prestige finish. You won’t buy better….and furthermore the addition of the Snowbee Lifetime Guarantee provides peace of mind at all times.
