The English manufacturer Wychwood is known for well thought out products at a very attractive price – not only in the UK, but also all over Europe. And without a doubt, the modern Wychwood RS2 single handed fly rod lives up to that reputation!

These rods are an evolution of the award-winning RS series that debuted at EFTTEX in 2016. The originals narrowly missed out on winning the 'Best Fly Rod' category at the European trade event, held in Budapest that year, and against stiff competition from global brands, highlighted just how strong the range was in terms of quality and performance.

Fast forward to 2020 and we've taken those original design ideas and tweaked them, adding some accompanying reels to share the RS2 moniker

Like their predecessors, the new rods bridge the gap between a traditional through action and a more distance-oriented, fast-action that will help the user get more yardage from their cast. There are six models in the range covering line weight from 4-8 in lengths of 9ft, 9ft 6in and 10ft. Cork handles, high-end Pac bay single leg guides and a very understated blank add to the premium-level looks.

Our team of anglers have been using the rods extensively throughout 2019 and its this development that's helped us to hone the blanks and create rods that really reward the user with bigger distances without a loss of accuracy.

The new RS2 series follow on from the highly acclaimed RS range, this new series has been created to surpasses the overall feel and performance of our best selling rods, at the same time offering exceptional value for money!

Having been specifically designed to offer more power without impacting on the blanks fish- playing performance. The rods in the range feature an action, a little slower than most fast actioned blanks, which is better suited to all anglers, no matter their ability.

Extra power harnessed in the butt and second section means it allows the more competitive angler to achieve distance casts with ease. Unlike many stiffer rods these RS2’s have plenty of feel which means the whole blank comes into play when you’re fighting fish, allowing them to be netted faster and without the fear of hook pulls or breakages on light tippets.

The new range has a rod to cover every length and line rating in order to suit all manner of fishing applications for stillwater, reservoir and river water fishing.
