Origin II | 3 weight 9’6″

Launch special.

Origin II 9’6″ 3wt Fly Rod

Precision. Sensitivity. Soul.

Designed for the angler who values balance, feel, and finesse, the Origin II 9’6″ 3wt bridges the gap between delicate dry fly work and modern Euro-nymphing techniques. Built on our updated Origin II blank platform, this rod delivers crisp recovery, a highly responsive tip, and exceptional line control — all while maintaining the smooth, forgiving character that defines our tapers.

The slightly longer 9’6″ length provides superior reach and drift management, whether you’re presenting a single dry on fine tippet or feeling the subtle takes of wary trout through a tight line. The progressive medium-fast action offers enough backbone to turn over longer leaders yet remains sensitive enough to protect 7X tippet and detect the faintest touch.

Each Origin II is bespokely designed in South Africa for our demanding waters and variable conditions. From blistering summer heat to icy winter mornings, the rod’s materials and components are chosen to perform — not just look the part.

Why the Origin II?
Because not every day calls for a 10-foot Euro rod — sometimes precision, feel, and control matter more than sheer reach. The Origin II 9’6″ 3wt is that perfect in-between: a rod for dry flies, nymphs, and everything subtle in between.
