Guideline Elevation Brook & TLT

The Elevation Brook series contains of three different models, that probably are the most perfect rods for brooks and smaller streams. Together with all the same eco features as all other Elevation rods, we have also made some small cosmetic design changes. Less metallic trim and a more greyish thread to give you the feeling of an even more “stealthy” rod when fishing. The rods have a wonderful “mid flex” rod action curve, which means that you will have a rod that quickly bends perfectly in the tip and mid section of the rod, ensuring that small casting movements in tight situations will work just as thought.

As the rod gradually bends wonderfully all the way down to the handle when fighting fish, it suits fishing with very thin leaders as it easily dampens sudden movements. The light and super crispy blank construction also has the properties for some great overhead casting and a surprisingly good distance! To really become perfectly equipped for the brook and small stream fishing scene, make sure to match these rods up with our brand new Brook WF fly line, which is design for and with these rods! Never before have we had a setup that perfect for fishing in small streams!

The Brook TLT #3/4/5 7'6" is a specially designed rod for the Italian casting style named “TLT”, «Tecnica Lancio Totale», or Total Casting Technique. The rods ultra fast action enables you to cast with very distinctive movements and carry long and light line weights. It also differs in that way that it becomes clear that in this case its the caster that should be bending the rod, not the line weight. This type of rod with light line weights can give you some incredible line speed and loop control.

- Matte, lightly buffed blanks with no added coloration which gives them a dark graphite grey appearance. Any possible, excessive carbon waste particles are collected in a separate tank before water is passed on to the community cleaning facility. The blanks have a soft spiral pattern and thin, matte coating.
- Half wells grips of 3A cork without rubber cork reinforcements.
- Metal parts of reel seats are “clear anodized” which is the least toxic process possible when using aluminum reel seats. We use no chrome (lead) or paint in the anodizing bath.
- For the coatings on blank, guides, and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, we use a bio-based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better working atmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odors to a minimum.
- Rods are mounted with light wire single leg guides and KW style stripper guides. We use a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame. Best sustainable choice, still hard and with no chrome plating, which contains lead.
- Rod bag and rod tube cover are made of recycled REPREVE™ polyester. This is the leading, most trusted, branded performance fibers made from recycled materials (including plastic bottles).
- The rod tubes are made of recyclable Polypropylene (PP), they are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user. PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods.
- All rods are 3-piece.
