The Stinger replaces a traditional fly reel reducing unnecessary weight and mass in order to improve casting, dead drifts, hook sets, and overall fly presentation. Thoughtfully designed to be efficient, compact, lightweight, and extremely dependable—it's the best ally one can have when stalking wild trout off the beaten path.
We like the simplicity of Tenkara and the effectiveness of Euro Nymphing. We created a hybrid reel-less system without the limitations of Tenkara, and with improved functionality of Euro Nymphing. Our Stinger's minimal weight reduces arm, back, and shoulder fatigue for more accurate casting, longer dead drifts, and quicker hook sets using both traditional and new hybrid techniques.
Purposefully streamlined to catch more fish. We stripped away the unnecessary and designed the Stinger to be simple, compact, and extremely dependable with no moving parts to fail. Losses from too much line slack, or excessive line tension from improper reel drag setup is eliminated. Simply stated, it puts you in better control when fighting feisty fish on light tippet.
By eliminating the weight and rotational inertia of a reel, casting accuracy is greatly improved. Better accuracy means increased target areas.
Arm, shoulder, and back fatigue is greatly reduced due to the lighter weight. Dead drifts and fly presentation are greatly improved with longer or higher rod extension.
Going reel-less makes your rod much more sensitive since there is less weight and mass to dampen rod movements. Strike detection and Hooksets become instantaneous.
The Stinger is more compact than a reel. Carrying two rods is much easier with the Stinger's slim profile. Or, carry an extra Stinger in your pack with an alternate line set up.
