Cheating We'll come clean from the outset: Velocity is the freshwater version of our Cobalt action. We did this for an obvious reason: Our high-energy saltwater rods are certifiable handguns. Point and shoot, fast and furious, lifting power and laser loops.
Big flies on open water, blowing like hell? Yep. Send one out to a seam in the middle of a wide freestone and throw in a reach? Nailed it. Lift a meaty streamer with a Belgian backcast and hit the other side of the river? Done. 10 inch brookies in a beaver pond on 6X? Uh . . . not quite. But if speed is what you need . . .Lighter hardware, forgotten fighting butts, foofy finishes for us trout guys, things like that.
End of story.
The Velocity rods are fast action suitable for big fly patterns, streamers and indicator rigs. They can cover lots of water and deliver big casts even when the wind kick up.
All Velocity rods are 4 piece rods. The 7 and 8 weight rods feature a fighting butt, and the 6 weight is available with or without. We have 9' 6" and 10' lengths in the 6 weight and 7wt models.
Velocity rods are great for fresh or saltwater use and will work for trout of all sizes, as well as other warm water species like bass and pike. The larger weights are great for salmon, steelhead and even in shore saltwater species.
