 The recently launched GR70 fly rod from Greys is the next step up from the well-known and successful GR50. This even lighter and even faster fly rod for still water or river fishing is designed for the more experienced casters generating long casts or punching into the wind. High tensile modulus carbon blanks translates into a sensitive and fast action rod with a quick recovery. And this four piece rod is presented in a dark grey blank with green and silver highlights and whip finishes. Ranging from 9 to 11 feet and 5 to 8 weight, the GR70 fly rod comes in two handle types. The GR70 is beautifully finished, the butt sports a branded greys logo and the attractive two-part skeletal real seat with carbon woven spacer also helps reduce the weight further. The two ceramic stripper guides are high quality and strong coping with as much wear as you can throw at them as are the single-foot guides tied in beautifully under the smooth finished varnish through to the conventional tip loop that is standard across most of today's rods. Putting this attractively presented rod together there are line-up and blank identification markers on the ferrules for quick recognition and efficient setup. Coming in a black triangular Cordura rod tube which is segmented again this speeds up setup and breakdown of the rod. All of this workmanship is backed by an excellent opt-in worldwide extended warranty service that we think is a display of confidence greys have in their equipment. So if you're an experienced angler looking for a quick and powerful fly rod we recommend a seriously impressive GR70 from greys.
