The micro-Spey has its own action for swinging and mending smaller trout streamers and wets. The two shortest trout rods have a slower action designed for short casts as compared to more conventional models. The basic saltwater models have a faster action designed for bigger flies bigger fish and windy conditions. The new Clearwaters improved the rod blank materials using a blend of standard intermediate and high modulus graphite depending on the rod model. The rods have between 10 and 15% improved strength depending on the exact rod model. The Clearwater 3-Weight 10′ Fly Rod is specifically designed to enhance European nymphing tactics. Its light sensitivity and reach offer the perfect rod for maintaining contact with a multiple-fly nymphing rig. Given the new popularity of this technique the Clearwater 103-4 coupled with a Tactical Nymph line is an exceptional outfit offering reduced line sag and better contact for quicker reaction to subtle takes.The new Clearwater Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift but a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value. It’s still the best fly rod you can buy for the money but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers. Each rod was designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model would be traditionally used for from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods.
