Primal Fly Rods is the latest brand to come from Manic Tackle’s house of brands. They deliver high premium performance and finish quality in a customised range designed for NZ and Australian anglers at an affordable price.

This rod range is intended to make a fantastic upgrade option for anglers who are looking to make the next step up having got into fly fishing with an entry-level package. For those who enjoy the technology aspect of fly rods – At the heart of all Primal rods is a helical core of Nano matrix prepreg. In simple terms, the first layer at the core of the fly rods is off-axis fibres that give the rods incredible hoop strength as well as torsional stability.

This makes the rods not only strong but means they cast a very smooth tight loop with very little tip bounce and exceptional tracking. Less sideways movement of the rod blanks while casting means more accurate, smoother casting.
