The MAVRK 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.
Based on Euro-nymphing principals, we created a lightweight, hybrid reel-less system that makes your rod more sensitive to strikes and employs hand lining techniques to better fight and land your fish. Using both traditional and modern techniques, the Stinger evokes the simplicity of Tenkara without the limitations and its minimal weight reduces arm, back, and shoulder fatigue for more accurate casting, longer dead drifts, and quicker hook sets.
Purposefully streamlined and highly compact for travel. We stripped away the unnecessary and designed the Stinger to be simple, highly-portable, and extremely dependable with no moving parts to fail. Designed for tactile control which helps prevent losses from too much line slack or excessive line tension from improper reel drag setup. Simply stated, the Stinger 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 light 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.
More compact than a reel! Carrying two rods is much easier with the Stinger's slim profile. Or, bring extra Stingers in your pack with alternate line setups.
