The Atlas 9' 7wt is our go-to streamer and freshwater Bass fly rod. Featuring more power than the Atlas 6wt and 8wt, the 9' 7wt is designed specifically for pairing with aggressive weight-forward fly line tapers like the Rio Outbound Short and the Scientific Anglers Titan. If you're throwing big, wind-resistant streamers and deer hair Bass bugs all day, the Atlas 9' 7wt offers a powerful yet lightweight cannon that is perfectly suited for the task.
Graphene Nano-Resin - At the core of any rod is the blank. It has to be light. It has to be strong. But most importantly, it's got to be accurate. In order to make the BEST fly rod, we had to start with the best materials - and, today, that's graphene. Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel yet lighter than graphite.
But a great blank isn't just great materials. We spent over two years refining the design of one single line weight in order to bring you the most accurate and versatile blank ever.
Swing Weight - 74.6gm^2
REC Cerecoil Stripping Guides - The best rod starts with the best components. Cerecoil Guides are super lightweight and built with titanium to stand up to the elements.
REC Recoil Snake guides - Like the stripping guides, at Atlas, only the best will do. We chose recoil guides for their exceptional durability and lightweight.
Custom asymmetrical anodized aluminum double up-locking reel seat - to secure your reel, we chose an industry-standard double uplocking reel seat, then made it better. We oversized the rings and made the reel seat asymmetrical so you're never fumbling around to attach your reel.
Powder-coated aluminum rod tube - We wanted to make sure your investment is protected, and the aluminum rod tube does just that. It also comes with a matching rod bag.
