A celebrated favorite among our new customers!
The much anticipated arrival of the new IM-12 series Jim Hicks Signature Fly Rod is celebrated this week! The new rod, a 9 foot, 4-piece, true 5-weight, has an additional tip (making it a 5-piece) and aluminum fly rod tube standard. It comes in a beautiful 5-pouch cloth rod sack and is built with the finest technology and IM-12 carbon/boron, with double eyelet guides and snake guides along the cobalt blue metallic finish. The wraps are black with silver piping and the reel seat is premium aluminum with a metallic silver finish. The seat has a lock-up mechanism. The grip is premium AAA Portguese Cork. The rod was built with a "tipped" and fast speed with an ERN approaching 7.8. The aluminum rod tube and the extra tip is an added value of almost $80 and is included in the price of the rod.
You may purchase an optional "Instructional Tip" for the Jim Hicks rod for $30 on the pull-down menu. The instructional tip is a high-visibility yellow tip and can be swapped with the standard tip. When the instructional tip is installed, you or a monitor, can determine your rod tip movement easier and help correct casting flaws to improve your accuracy and casting distance. Our Instructional Tip has a provisional patent.
If you are interested in a "package" deal that includes a fly reel and other great accessories with this rod, check the "Specials" section on our website.
This was a 2-year project rod and is was released 6 months early. Get yours now, they are already going out the door!
