Shaun Carstens from REEL Fly Fishing and Daniel Factor from X-Factor Angling is proud to announce their next-generation fly rods.

Gravity Fly Rods is a collective effort from both Shaun and Daniel, and the G-Series of graphene-powered fly rods pushes the boundaries of what you can expect from a South African brand.

Gravity Fly Rods ushers in the latest advances in materials and techniques to the modern South African fly fisher. Utilizing graphene extensively through the blanks has resulted in fly rods that are stronger, lighter, and more precise. Careful attention has been paid to every aspect of the G-Series, from high-quality components and materials, small intricate touches to the South African flag being displayed proudly on the fly blank and rod tubes.

Graphene Explained:

Graphene is elastic, much more so than graphite which is quite brittle in comparison. This elasticity lends itself naturally to fly rods as it aids to dramatically improving recovery rate, and action while reducing physical weight.

X-factor Angling and REEL Fly Fishing are the first locally-based companies to offer Graphene powered fly rods to South African fly anglers.

From The Ground Up:

Creating a blank from the ground up results in a fly rod that is beautifully balanced, poised, and designed to maximize its length and action. The Gravity G-series are dedicated 10-foot fly rods with a FAST action and ULTRA-FAST recovery rate. These fly rods lend themselves exceptionally well to still waters and larger rivers. The G-Series length gives you a host of immediate benefits, such as improved tippet protection, easier loading, and better reach when nymphing.

The feedback and sensation that Graphene provides to the angler results in a fly rod that behaves like an extension of your arm. Pin-point accuracy is accompanied by a sublimely smooth fast action that turns over big flies with ease, or when needed can delicately lay a dry fly down effortlessly.

The recovery rate is one of the stand-out features of the G-Series and was the driving force behind the use of Graphene. We further increased the recovery rate by keeping the blank raw and unsanded. The unsanded blank also increases our fly rods’ overall action while reducing the swing weight.
