Guideline LPX Coastal is the next generation fly rods for coastal & tropical fishing featuring environmentally friendly, high-end components and production processes.
Totally new materials, a sturdy focus on environment and a new mindset for designing the ultimate rods for coastal and tropical fishing: The LPX Coastal are truly remarkable! An uncompromised rod series made for hardcore fishing with streamers after trophy trout, seatrout hunting along coastal shorelines or your dream trip to tropical destinations.
The new materials and carbon layup create extremely “light tip rods” that gives fast acceleration throughout the casting stroke. The action is fast with a quick recovery. Compared with the previous saltwater models the LPX Coastal rods are lighter, crisper, livelier and feature a slightly deeper curve. This makes them easier to cast and more tolerant to raw force or excessive wrist movement which we often use “accidentally” while trying to achieve the longest casts.
9' #6, #7, #8: The allrounders for coastal flyfishing in Europe. These rods are built to manage larger flies, stronger winds and lines/shooting heads that sink when needed. The low swing-weight and great connection between tip and handle, make them a joy to cast and work during long sessions. The actions are quite fast, but with maintained feel of the load down towards the bottom third of the rod when you challenge them and power up your cast. They are also a great choice for the lighter flats fishing when fishing for bonefish on shallow water.
9' #9 & 9' #10: These two rods in the LPX Coastal series are like the Swiss Army knife of tropical flats fishing. The 9wt is the perfect rod for permit, jacks and other species on the flats, but can also be a great tool for windy rough days when bone fishing. The 10wt handles baby tarpon, barracuda, jacks or big permit, so this is a really versatile tool for many tropical applications.
9' #11 & 9' #12: The heavier models in the LPX Coastal Series lend themselves extremely well to either sea fishing for halibut, pollack and tuna, or for tropical fishing targeting big tarpon, GT and other gamefish that roam in warmer waters. These rods are strong, yet very light and are built to have enough power to fight big fish efficiently from the bottom part of the rod, while maintaining a good casting action through a more tolerant and flexible top half.
