Horizon Tactical Competition Fly Rod

Designed for Competitive Anglers

The Horizon Tactical Competition Fly Rods were developed with input from South Africa’s leading competition anglers. Moreover, every detail was carefully designed to maximise performance on the water. As a result, this series combines cutting-edge materials, precision fittings, and competition-ready features to deliver an unmatched fly fishing experience.
 

Quality and Construction

These rods utilise advanced Nanohoop graphite technology for strength and responsiveness. In addition, they feature high-quality fittings, including reversed half-wells grips crafted with AAA-grade cork. Consequently, anglers benefit from lightweight control, long-lasting durability, and consistent performance in demanding conditions. Furthermore, every component reflects the attention to detail required for competitive angling.

Balance and Sensitivity

The 3-weight model includes a down-locking reel seat that shifts swing weight lower and enhances tip sensitivity. Conversely, the 6-weight model features an up-locking reel seat with double locking rings for added strength. Both rods also include a short fighting butt for improved control. Therefore, each model offers tailored balance and responsiveness for its specific applications.

Competition-Ready Features

The Tactical Competition series incorporates numerous details for anglers who want every advantage. For example, measurement wraps at 30 cm and 50 cm provide instant fish length reference. Moreover, each rod includes an additional single-foot guide per section to minimise line slap, and an inverted stripping guide reduces line wrap. Consequently, performance, accuracy, and stealth are maximised with matte black blanks and fittings.
 

Horizon Tactical Competition Series 3100-4

The 3100-4 is a 10-foot, 3-weight, 4-piece rod perfect for Euro-style nymphing. Its length improves reach, keeps more line off the water, and enhances drifts. Consequently, it excels at managing nymph rigs while still presenting dry flies delicately and accurately. Ultimately, this rod gives anglers the control needed to succeed in technical river conditions.
 

Horizon Tactical Competition Series 6100-4

The 6100-4 is a 10-foot, 6-weight, 4-piece rod designed for versatility. It generates high line speed for long presentations while protecting light tippets with a sensitive tip. Moreover, it has proven extremely popular with stillwater anglers who need distance, strength, and control in one rod. Therefore, it is equally effective for competitive anglers and those who fish larger waters.
