TFO Elevare Fly Rod

Brand new for 2024 and quickly winning iCast’s Best of Category, TFO’s Elevare series is just what you need when you’re looking to pick apart every riffle, pocket, pool, and run of your favorite waterway. Designed for modern nymphing tactics, the Elevare - Italian for “to lift” - is a lightweight tool that provides the sensitivity you need to detect even the subtlest of strikes. Made in four different lengths ranging from a 10’ 2 weight to an 11’ 4 weight - all of which land at under 3 ounces - the Elevare provides an option whether you’re fishing a small elevated freestone or working a massive tailwater. High-quality components like a down-locking reel seat and REC Black Pearl Recoil Guides/ultralight single-foot guides complete the Elevare Rod and make it ready to precisely drift your Perdigon in every piece of current you can find. 

Blank 

Modulus Carbon Fiber - Designed to complement the lightweight feel of the Elevare series, TFO has used a modulus carbon fiber blank. This blank is incredibly sensitive, responsive, and ensures that you feel every rock, current change, and strike out of each drift. 

Finish

A black finish adds to the stealthy build of the Elevare while also giving a look that you’ll be happy about for years to come. 

Guides

Rec Black Pearl Recoil  - High-quality guides that are lightweight and can handle even the roughest hike-ins, TFO uses REC Black Pearl Recoil Guides for their Elevare Rods. These guides spring back should you bend them and allow your line to shoot without friction. 

Single-Foot Snake Guides - A design choice that matches the Elevare’s super lightweight build, these single-foot snake guides reduce the number of thread wraps in order to keep things nice and light. 

Reel Seat

Down-locking Aluminum Reel Seat - The Elevare sports a down-locking aluminum reel seat. This choice is durable, lightweight, and allows you to precisely balance your setup exactly how you like. For quick reference, each butt includes the rod’s weight and length. 

Rod Tube

Packaged in a rod sock and tube, your Elevare is sure to be safe no matter what leg of the journey you’re on. 

Warranty 

As of July 2024, TFO offers a warranty that covers defects in material and workmanship. For breakages or damages due to an accident or typical wear and tear, TFO offers repair or a replacement for a fee. TFO also offers replacement sections at a fee for a faster alternative.
