TNH 864 8’6" #4  model description

The perfect faster action rod for upstream dry and nymphing on small to medium rivers.  Long enough to track current seams and cast over bankside vegetation, but not so long as to complicate casting under the tree canopy.  Super light, accurate and responsive, sensitive tip, fast recovery and crisp action, fast but not too stiff. Ample power to reach out further when needed.

TNH seriesTaniwha Nano-helix blanks are carefully constructed fast and sensitive hi-modulus carbon fibre fly rod tapers from a designer whose early career included designing high performance fly rods for a well regarded New Zealand brand before establishing his own advanced composites manufacturing facility based in China. These blanks offer premium quality fit, finish and performance at a surprisingly reasonable price. Taniwha Rodworks exclusive.  The TNH series incorporates high-modulus, uni-directional carbon fibre pre-pregs wrapped on a helical carbon fibre scrim with the latest nano resin adhesives for optimum strength to weight performance, hoop strength and blank recovery speed. The result is a light, slim, strong and sensitive blank with fine tips, plenty of feel and fast tip recovery. Most of the flex is in the top third of the blank (mid-tip to tip flex action depending on the model) and they are a delight to cast and fish with good power reserves for taming larger catches and carrying longer casts.
