{"product_id":"cortland-mkiix-nymph-fly-rod","title":"Cortland MKIIX Nymph Fly Rod","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cortland MKIIX Nymph Fly Rod is the next step up from the Competition MkII for anglers who fish tight-line and Euro nymphing rigs all season and want more feel from a lighter, stiffer blank. Cortland reinforces the blank resin with graphene nano particles, which lets the rod use a thinner wall for the same strength. The result is a rod that tracks straight, telegraphs the smallest tick on the bottom and puts the fly where you aim it. It is built for trout water of every size, from 10ft 6in rods for creeks and pocket water to 11ft rods for big rivers where reach and line control matter most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlank\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MKIIX blank is graphite reinforced with impregnated graphene nano particles (GNP). The reinforced resin makes a strong, rigid structure with less material, so the wall is thinner than a standard blank. Thinner walls improve tracking, sensitivity and accuracy. Cortland finishes the blank with its Hybrid Blank Texture (HBT), which keeps the crisp, fast dampening feel of a fully sanded blank while the partially sanded surface reduces line tension when the blank is wet. Alignment dots on each section make assembly quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGuides\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStripping Guides\u003c\/strong\u003e - Fine wire single-foot guides keep weight off the blank and let thin nymphing lines and long leaders pass cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnake Guides\u003c\/strong\u003e - Fine wire snake guides, two of them on the tip section, hold the line close to the blank for better control during the drift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReel Seat\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn anodized down-locking reel seat moves the reel toward the butt to balance the long rod in a high-stick position.
