You’ll never suffer from the perils of misaligned tips when you’re fishing with this rod, and the line up marks ensure that you won’t waste valuable angling time stood on the bank setting up your gear. The Greys GR70 Fly Rod is supplied in its own hard partitioned rod tube. This ensures the full safety and security of the rod both in transit and in storage – after all there is nothing worse than arriving on the bank only to realise your rod has sustained damage.
