Arcay Otter Fly Rods
Arcay Otter Fly Rod Series
Ultra-Light Performance. Precision Without Compromise.
The new Arcay rod series is built from a refined combination of 30T and 40T Hankook carbon, delivering an exceptional balance of structural strength, sensitivity and casting control.
These blanks are ultra-thin, agile and remarkably lightweight, designed to produce precise, comfortable casts whether you’re nymphing at distance or presenting dries with finesse. Every model features single-foot guides and a FUJI K anti-tangle stripper ring to maximise line flow and minimise tangles.
If you value feel, balance and performance without excess weight, this series delivers.
