Vision Fly Rods
XO Graphene
The next level of XO fly rods. We wanted to bring out the new generation of XO rods only if we could make significant improvements for the materials. Graphene made this possible. 3 years of testing prototypes and actions lead to the launch of XO Graphene fly rods. With this new material available and with it being the strongest tested material in the world it required a lot of testing and tuning of actions. When one of these rods is casted the first time the difference is noticeble right away. Graphene makes it possible to make stronger rods with less material which results actionwise with unbelieveble strenght combined to smooth actions.
The long #3 weight rods are made especially for Euro nymphing. They feature a down-locking reel seat for better balance, tight spacing of small single leg guides to prevent line sagging for perfect drag free drifts and our tangle free tip with the top guide being double leg snake guide. These 2 models are designed together with some of the best competition anglers in the world.
Vision started the XO project in 2013. The goal was to make a rod that exceeds all the rods we've made so far in every aspect. In this time we have tried and tested a lot of different combinations of materials and actions. Good enough was not going to cut it – it had to be as close to perfect as possible. We also wanted to add something that tells about our origins in Finland.
