The Pisces 1 - Nymph 9'0" 2wt fly rod is expertly crafted for technical nymphing in pressured waters where stealth and precision are paramount. I
Its 9-foot length offers superior line control and easy mending, ideal for smaller rivers and streams.
The ultralight 2-weight action enhances sensitivity, allowing anglers to detect the faintest bites with confidence.
Featuring a down-locking reel seat, a snake guides at the tip, and single-leg guides elsewhere, this rod balances performance and finesse.
As a nice touch - Each rod also includes a matched spare tip section, ensuring versatility and durability on every fishing expedition.
There's been quite a lot of 'behind the scenes' work gone into getting this rod 'in the Goldilocks zone' - It took 3 months of testing just to select the correct blank action!
So ...
I'll start with the specification of the rod - for those of you, like me, who are a little 'geeky' where rods are concerned!

Each of our Pisces 1 rods comes with two matched tip sections - I don't know of any others, outside of cane, that do this.
As we all know, if a nymph rod is going to break (hopefully it never will, but if it does, it's usually from a weighted nymph hitting it), it will be at the tip - so I wanted to keep you on the water for as long as possible. Which is why I've had these rods built with an extra matched tip section, both rolled from the same mandrel, so they are a perfect match.
When you are using a specialist nymphing rod, they are built with single-leg guides all the way to the tip - these guides are purposely used as they hold the thin leader/line from sticking to the blank.
But, if you have ever tried nymphing with really thin lines, be it mono or a specialist nymphing line, then you will also know that they get tangled around the tip fairly regularly. Having a snake guide as the final guide allows you to untangle you line by just lowering the rod and waggling it - saving you time from doing it by hand, clever eh?
A downlocking reel seat is a smart feature of our Pisces 1 nymphing rod because it shifts the reel slightly further back toward the butt of the rod, improving overall balance and reducing tip-heaviness.
This means the rod feels lighter and more comfortable to hold in the high, forward position used for euro-nymphing, reducing wrist and forearm fatigue over a long day on the water. Better balance also increases sensitivity, allowing you to detect the subtle takes that make the difference between “just fishing” and consistently catching.
We've included a carbon rod tube because it offers the same level of protection as a standard aluminium or cordura tube, but at a fraction of the weight. This is especially useful for anglers who often hike, wade long distances, or travel with their kit, this reduction in weight makes the rod easier and more comfortable to carry without sacrificing strength or durability.
It’s not essential, but it elevates both the practicality and the luxury of our rod - a small detail that makes the whole setup feel lighter, sleeker, and more purposeful.

Our 9ft 2-weight nymphing rod feels incredibly light and responsive in the hand, almost as if it's an extension of your wrist. When you lift it, the tip recovers quickly and confidently, giving you a sense of control without having to grip hard or force the rod. It balances comfortably just ahead of the reel seat, allowing you to hold the rod high for long periods without fatigue.
On the water, this translates into a rod that encourages you to make small, precise movements - tracking tight drifts, holding your leader off the surface, and maintaining perfect connection to your nymphs.
"I'm no expert in nymphing rod taper designs - but I do know what a good one feels like to fish (and cast) with - and this is a good one."
