With lightweight the big focus with this rod, we used a down locking, light weight, reel seat that that shifts the weight of the reel rearward rather than forward, thus allowing the use of much lighter reels to get that perfect balance. Overall you end up with a much lighter, and more sensitive rod/reel combination.
The strength of this lightweight rod will shock you. No need to wonder if you need a 2wt for the smaller fish or a 4wt for bigger fish. This rod will handle them all!
If you are looking for a fast action, light weight, and super strong rod that can still protect fine tippets…………..then this is your rod! Designed by competition fly anglers for any fly angler looking to improve their catch rates. The new GLADIATOR competition rod, is one of the fastest, strongest, and lightest nymphing rods on the market. Down locking reel seat allows for better balance and lighter reels to overall reduce weight. This rod was designed to be extra light weight and they absolutely hit a home run. This is one of the lightest 10 ft fly rods on the market period. With this rod your casting accuracy will drastically improve due to its quick rebound, your hook up rates will increase due to its speed, and its extra soft tip will save your light tippet. The strong butt in these rod will turn those bigger fish and its light weight will flat out amaze you. Pair these rods with our matched GLADIATOR reels for that perfect balance and our Elasti-core competition fly line for extra forgiveness on those aggressive hook sets.

"Awesome all around rod! If you are looking for a nymphing rod that can hold its own against rods more than twice its price, the Gladiator is for you. Having caught multiple trout over 20" on the Gladiator, it brings big fish to the net with ease while the soft tip has no problem protecting 7x tippet."
