NEW! Soulmate Obsidian Reach 963 - 9´6ft 3wt HM Fly Rod Blank

Soulmate Obsidian Reach 963 fly rod blank – more reach for delicate dry fly fishing

With the Soulmate Obsidian 963 we are expanding the Obsidian series with a particularly exciting blank for all fly anglers looking for more reach and line control when dry fly fishing without giving up feel and delicate presentation.

With a length of 9’6” and line weight #3, the Obsidian 963 combines the lightness of a delicate dry fly rod with the advantages of a longer blank. The extra 6 inches provide more reach, better mending control and longer, controlled drifts – ideal on larger rivers, wider pools or wherever the fly needs to be presented cleanly a little further out.

The balanced medium-fast to fast action loads pleasantly, gives a direct feel for line and cast and at the same time has enough backbone when more line needs to be kept in the air. This allows both short, precise presentations and longer casts to be executed with control and efficiency.

Made of modern HM Toray HDC carbon, the blank impresses with its low weight, high recovery speed and very clean power transfer. The satin matte black finish underlines the understated, high-quality look and makes the Obsidian 963 the ideal base for a modern, lightweight custom build.
