A.Jensen Ignita II (NEW 2024)
A.Jensen Ignita II
The Ignita rods are back!! In 2024 you will find the new upgraded Ignita II models in the market. And they have turned out very well indeed!! All the known models is still in the series + a new one. A Euro/Czech Nymph rod model ( 10'6" # 3).
Each of the new Ignita II rods from A.Jensen is an elegant and beautiful rod, which is almost the oposite of the BWO mayfly (Ephemerella ignita) where it has its name from, as the BWO is a rather clumsy flier and maybe the least elegant of all the mayflies..
The Ignita II is a very slim and extremely light rod, with a huge amount of power, yet very delicate and sensitive.
SBD (slim blank design) and AHT (advanced helical technology) assures a fast rod with great casting potential on both short and long distance, and a phenomenal low weight.
One of the most characteristic points to say about this rod is, that none of the test fishermen had anything they wanted to adjust with the first models, and none of them sent the rod back after testing....I guess that says it all!!
The rod looks very nice with its deep transparent olive blank (almost BWO - Blue winged Olive - colored) , with matching thread tipped with a slim gold trim.
Snakes are of course high quality super hard Chrome double leg models, and the shooting guides are what is considered the best in the trade at the moment, which is the Titanium Minima guides from Pacbay.
Handle and cork part of the reel seat is of highest obtainable quality Portuguese cork.

About A.Jensen Flyrods
ONE OF THE TRADEMARKS OF THE A. JENSEN RODS IS THE TIME WE SPEND ON EACH MODEL BEFORE IT ENTERS THE MARKET. WE WILL RATHER TAKE ONE YEAR EXTRA WITH THE TEST TEAM AND DESIGNERS, THAN FORCE PRODUCTS INTO THE MARKET, THAT WE DON’T HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN.
WE DESIGN OUR RODS, BASED ON A PRACTICAL ANGLE TO FLYFISHING. FIRST OF ALL, WE ARE FLYFISHERS OURSELF, AND WE WORK WITH THE AIM TO MAKE GREAT EQUIPMENT, IN ORDER FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE MORE EFFECTIVE FISHING, AND MOST IMPORTANT MORE JOY IN FLYFISHING.
BY OUR TERMS A FLY ROD IS NOT JUST A CASTING TOOL, BUT A TOOL FOR FISHING.
By that we mean that it should handle both the casting and the joy of fishing and playing a fish at the same time.
Beside that we wanted to create rods, that are able to cast both long lines and shorter lines with full control, as this is one of the crucial aspects of flyfishing. With many modern flyrods, you only get the rod properly loaded, with a lot of line outside the top, and only from that point on will you cast with full control. We want our rods to load with short lines, but still, be able to cast long lines.
In order to achieve what we want we make a so-called “compensated tip”, meaning a tip that loads quickly. One could make the top of softer material, but then you get a rod action, that feels strange when casting.
Instead, we use “Advanced Helical Taper” technology and thereby creating a rod, where the top of the rod loads quickly, without being soft. The “Advanced Helical Taper” technology means changing and opening the angle of the helical wound graphite towards the top. By using the same material, and still under the same amount of tons of pressure as the rest of the blank, we get a rod, that performs with a unique balance.
The quick loading top has many benefits. When fishing shorter lines, such as when fishing dries and nymphs, you will have more accuracy and control.
When fishing stillwaters, both lakes and salts, you will with much ease be able to shoot the first meters of line, as the rod actually cast the line right from the first false cast. There is no “waving” the rod, to get so much line out, that the rod actually loads and casts. Your casting strokes will be more balanced, as you get the rhythm right from the start of the cast. It will simply put feel easier. On top of that, the rod is a light and sensitive instrument, and an absolute joy to play a fish on. This brings us back to the where we started – We want to make a fishing rod, not just a casting rod.
Warranty
All A.Jensen fly rods are covered by a 2-year warranty.
This covers defects due to craftmanship or materials.
If the rod is damaged, please send the rod and the original receipt (received when you buy the rod) to your dealer.
If the damage is covered by the warranty, the rod will be repaired or replaced.
After 2 years, or in case of the damage is not caused by defect due to craftmanship or materials, each part will be charged at a price equal to the recommended retail price divided by the amount of part. Meaning a part from a 4 piece rod cost ¼ of the recommended retail price of that rod.
