SKU RCH1004-4WThe flagship of the next generation of all-around freshwater fly rods, the Boron AIR 2 might just be the most capable freshwater tool of all time. These rods can do anything – present tiny dry flies to wary trout on flat water, cast a streamer to the far bank in the wind, launch the entire line when you need it, and make quick, accurate close-range shots.
The Air 2 Reach, incorporates everything we love about the Air2 line, but in a 10 foot length. In Nor-Cal we wade fish a lot of bushy rivers and creeks that demand roll casting presentations. Therefore, some of our favorite trout rods are 10 footers, with the 4wt being the all star of the group. This is the preferred model for indicator nymphing, yet still retains incredible touch and accuracy for presenting a mayfly emerger during a hatch.
As soon as you make your first casting stroke, you will feel the sensitivity, refined power and effortless accuracy are all cranked to 11. The rod feels alive in hand, like an extension of your body, rather than a simple tool. Casting this rod will fire off all your dopamine receptors and make you forget about every other rod you own.
From high stick nymphing, to pounding the banks from the boat, or wet wading, the versatility is incredible. Staring as a pack rod, a travel rod, a boat rod, a spring creek rod, and an all-around rod, the AIR 2 is your huckleberry. When you can only bring one rod, choose the amazing new Boron AIR 2. You won’t want to leave home without it. Now is the time.
