Redington Strike Euro Nymph Fly Rod (Version 2)
Purpose-built for modern tight-line tactics, the Redington Strike II is a refined euro nymphing tool designed to maximize control, balance, and strike detection.
This updated generation sheds weight and improves in-hand feel through a lighter blank construction and single-foot guide system, resulting in reduced sag and better contact — a critical advantage when fishing long leaders and fine tippet.
A medium-fast action paired with an ultra-sensitive tip delivers precise drift control while maintaining enough backbone to turn over heavier rigs and handle larger fish when needed. The reshaped grip and traditional down-locking reel seat shift the balance point closer to the reel, reducing fatigue during long sessions of high-sticking and improving overall rod performance.

The Strike II feels much more balanced than the older model. The single-foot guides reduce sag significantly, and the sensitivity helps me detect even the tiniest strikes. I’ve been using it for several weeks on streams and it’s proven reliable in both dry fly and nymphing setups.

I appreciate the improved in-hand feel and the way the rod handles heavier rigs without losing sensitivity. The balance shift makes long sessions less tiring. Still, the length options are limited, which might affect some users.

This rod is perfect for tight-line nymphing. The medium-fast action gives me enough backbone to handle larger fish while still allowing fine control. The grip is comfortable and the tip is very responsive.
