Purpose built for technical fly fishing; for accuracy and finesse, for long leaders and small flies. From its 2 piece construction to the light and spare hardware specification, everything about Purist is focused on reducing upper section weight to enhance energy delivery, recovery, feedback and feel.
Two-Piece Construction
Inspired by some of the most revered finesse rods of all time, we revived
two-piece construction for our light line rods. Renown for their smooth
energy and control, two-piece Purist rods deliver a classic action with
modern performance.
Light Progressive Action
The Purist blank is very progressive, with a supple tip that loads easily short,
a mid-section that maintains tracking and stability of a solid butt section
that stores and releases energy with perfect control.
Fusion Format Guides
Purist incorporates a fusion of snake and single foot guides; small, thin
wire, single foot guides are utilized in the top 1/3 of the rod to reduce
weight and preserve the truest flex of the tip while traditional snake guides
are utilized in the lower 2/3 of the rod to maximize durability and line
tracking.
Vapor Tech Finish
By removing only a small amount of exterior epoxy and sealing the finish
with a fine vapor coating we avoid altering the action and integrity of the
blank while ensuring a protective finish.
Zero G Tip
The combination of a small diameter, short tip top with minimal wraps and
epoxy helps create the lightest tipped rod you’ll find.
