Shimano Biocraft XTC Fly 8'6 #4

All models are divided into 3 or 4 sections for convenient transport. Covering traditional river and stillwater trout fly-fishing methods, there are also three Big Bug and saltwater predator models, along with a superb model designed for nymph fishing. If you're a fly fisherman on a budget, the Biocraft rod is for you. There are thousands of anglers like you, which is why we've developed the Biocraft XT range. With a fantastic lightness-to-strength ratio, the Biocraft XT comes to life in your hands and rivals much more expensive rods. If you're a river angler, you'll appreciate the finesse; if you're a still-water angler, you'll love the casting performance; and for the carnivore or sea-fish angler, the Biocraft XT has all the power you'll need.

Each Biocraft XT rod is equipped with an all-carbon blank reinforced with Biofibre and Diaflash. This combination delivers a fantastic lightness-to-strength ratio and adds extra strength in the most powerful models, allowing them to be used safely for large predators and powerful ultra marine species. The rods have been designed and tested by the same team of experts who worked on the top-of-the-range Biocraft XR range, so as you'd expect, there are touches of excellence throughout. The blanks have been selected for their performance characteristics to suit the specific application. Seaguide and Fuji SIC guides guarantee lightness combined with strength, while Seaguide reel seats blend perfectly with traditional cork handles. Each rod comes with a velvet bag and a rigid carry tube.
