Horizon Nitro Fly Rod

Redefining Performance

Horizon’s NITRO range of fly rods brings top-end performance at a fraction of the price of American-made rods. Moreover, these rods combine refinement, build quality, and raw power in a package that will surprise even experienced anglers. As a result, the NITRO series redefines expectations of what a high-performance fly rod should deliver.

Freshwater Power

The 5- and 6-weight models are fast-actioned freshwater rods designed for distance and accuracy. They perform exceptionally on South African stillwaters, where long casts and windy conditions are common. Furthermore, both rods deliver flies with authority, ensuring consistent presentations in challenging environments. Therefore, they are the go-to choice for anglers who want reliable stillwater performance.

Saltwater and Big Fish Capability

The 8-weight model is a casting dream, capable of carrying large flies with ease. The Frontier Fly Fishing team designed this rod specifically for largemouth yellowfish, but it also excels in saltwater scenarios. Consequently, it is equally effective for species such as bonefish and triggerfish on the flats. In addition, its fast action ensures enough power to deliver precise casts in tough winds.
 

Spare Sections for Peace of Mind

All NITRO fly rods include a spare tip and spare second section. Therefore, anglers gain confidence knowing they have backup sections should accidents occur. This attention to detail highlights Horizon’s commitment to both performance and practicality.
