Elevation fly rods are groundbreaking as they contain the latest in material and production technology, and are also built with environmentally friendly components. This range of rods is another step towards our goal of more sustainable products and will guide future rod production here at Guideline. We have worked hard on the details of this range to develop a serious environmentally conscious option for all fly anglers. In addition, we have introduced completely new technology and materials that make Elevation a modern modern series that is at the forefront in all areas. New methods of developing blades allow us to monitor durability and action curves in a very precise way. This allows us to eliminate unwanted material in each rod section to make Elevation rods as light as possible without compromising the strength of the blades. The entire series is extremely light, responsive and the most solid rods in this class that we have ever made.
With the success of our Elevation fly rods, and a great demand for shorter and lighter rods, we are really pleased to be able to add the Elevation Brook to our range. These rods are designed to fit like a glove when fishing streams, small streams and small lakes. After listening carefully to our customers and what was missing, we feel that these three rods really hit the spot. Together with all the eco details from Elevation, we have also chosen to tone it down a little more to create the feeling of a slightly more discreet rod. A fine gray thread that matches the matte finish of the blade perfectly, high quality cork and with the same fine reel attachment as on previous rods.
The action on these rods is so lovely "midflex", which means you have a light and fast top together with a middle part that responds to the small and distinct casting movements you are often forced to make in imagined fishing situations. The curve in the rod is smooth and nice and with increased load from both casting and fish, the rod bends perfectly all the way down to the handle. This action and low line classes allow you to fish with very thin

- The blades are matte and lightly ground and have a natural gray graphite color with a faint spiral pattern and thin matte varnish, but no added color at any point.Excess graphite dust and particles are collected in their own container before being sent on to treatment plants.
- Half wells handles made of 3A cork without rubber cork inserts. This reduces the amount of epoxy in the handles.
- The metal components of the roller mount are "clear anodized" which means they have a surface treatment with no added paint, lead or chrome and is the least toxic way to do it.
- On all windings we have applied a bio-based epoxy glue with a very low concentration of harmful chemicals. Tested and approved as a product with a low environmental footprint. This provides better working conditions for those who assemble the rods and reduces the risk of health risks to a minimum.
- All rods have single-legged snake rings with KW line guides that prevent the line from tangling.The rings are stainless steel with a powder coated dark gray finish. Environmental brass the most durable option with good wear resistance without toxic chrome containing lead.
- The rod case and the outer fabric of the tube are made from recycled polyester supplied by REPREVE™. This is the leading and most trusted producer of textiles made from recycled materials (including plastic bottles).
- The rod tube is made of recyclable polypropylene (PP) which is lighter and has a 20% smaller diameter than standard PVC tubes. This results in weight and volume savings in shipping at all stages. Polypropylene has very good durability and can be remelted into pellets so that it can be used for new products.
- All models are 3-part.
