Both. It’s agile like a 3 wt but has the power and punch of a 4 wt.
The MAVRK DUAL II is the most versatile rod on the market. It converts from a 9’ rod to a 10’ 3” length by adding an extension section above the handle.
The new DUAL II rod utilizes the same tried and true Japanese Toray 40T high modulus graphite blank and is even lighter thanks to the new MAVRK Air Core reel seat. The cork has been upgraded to AAAA.
DUAL II Rod Specs and Highlights:
The Dual Rod II is the “Do Everything” nymph rod. Catch small Brookies in mountain streams, or fish tail waters for big Rainbows and Browns in the middle/heavyweight class.
The power of the rod is between a #3 and 4 wt nymph rod classification. So, go big with your trout and know that this rod can handle it.
The DUAL II can precisely cast everything from small Euro nymphs and Streamers with level line, to sending dry flies with shooting line (we recommend 1-3wt WF line).
Wet Dark Finish
Black guides, black thread wraps, gloss clear graphite finish, and a satin gun metal gray reel seat all give the MV-X a stunningly sharp look.
MAVRK Rods are the best value of any premium high modulus graphite nymph rods on the market.

There's no question that this is most sensitive nymph rod in my quiver- I even like it better than my 2wt T and T for casting small nymphs. And it just looks freakin cool! Three hours into my first day the tip snapped off a few inches from the Tip Top as I was landing a fish. I was disappointed but kept fishing it until lunch when I got back to the car to swap out the tip section with the spare that comes with the MV-X. The next days I contacted MAVRK and told Jeff what had happened. He said no problem a new tip section is on its way, free of charge. No rod company has ever done that for me.
I have used countless rods on the market and the Mavrk dual has been my favorite rod for nearly 3 years straight. Being a guide in south-central Pennsylvania I use this rod for everything from catching small brook trout, to rainbow trout stocked and wild, to big trophy brown trout. With an incredible tip action this rod protects yours tippet when the pressure is on. The versatility of a modular rod comes in handy in the thick woods of Pennsylvania when I can’t use a full length rod but need the reach. Whether it’s chucking a hopper dropper, throwing a streamer, or using it as a true ESN rod this rod can do it all. A traditional reel seat allows you to choose between your stinger comp or m1 setup or to try it with any reel.
I’ve been guiding in Colorado for the last 30 years. My go to guide rod is now the Mavrk Dual. I guide euro nymphing style most of the time and use the Dual at its longest length. Every now and then I need to use a conventional fly rod set up. I just remove the bottom extension and use a 3 or 4 weight line and now it’s a 9 foot conventional fly rod. The Dual is a great value and versatile rod. I also have the new MV-X. If you are debating whether or not to get the Dual or the MV-X and your a serious euro nympher get the MV-X. It’s a great rod.
