Why We Chose This Setup
The Vision Stillmaniac 2 has become one of the most respected lake fishing rods available, designed specifically for anglers who spend serious time chasing trout in stillwaters. Whether you're fishing from a boat, polaroiding cruising fish, pulling flies, or fishing indicators, these rods offer the casting performance, line control, and fish-fighting ability needed for modern lake fishing.
Matched with the Lamson Liquid S, you get one of the best-value reel packages available. The inclusion of two additional spools means you'll always have the right line ready to go as conditions change throughout the day.
The included line selection covers almost every lake fishing scenario:
Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Infinity
Your floating line for dry flies, streamers, indicators, and shallow-water presentations.
Scientific Anglers Sonar Stillwater Clear Camo
The ultimate clear camo intermediate line for fishing buzzers, nymphs, blobs, and pulling flies through the upper layers of the water column without spooking fish.
Scientific Anglers Sonar Stillwater Seamless Density Sink 3 / Sink 5
Designed for deeper presentations and covering water efficiently when trout move down in the water column.
If your local fishery or fishing style requires different lines, we're happy to customise the outfit to suit your needs.
Choosing a Rod
6 Weight – 9'6"
The most versatile all-round option in the range. The slightly shorter length feels lighter in hand and is ideal for anglers who spend most of their time casting floating and intermediate lines, fishing from boats, covering shoreline trout, or fishing big rivers with long indicator rigs.
Perfect for:
-
Indicator nymphing, intermediate lines, and boat fishing
-
Big-river trout fishing with long leaders and indicator rigs
6 Weight – 10'
The dedicated lake specialist. The extra length provides better line control, improved mending, and greater reach when fishing from both the bank and boat.
Perfect for:
-
Dedicated lake anglers fishing teams of flies, indicators, and long leaders
-
Improved line control and mending
This is often the most popular option for anglers who primarily fish lakes.
7 Weight – 10'
Designed for larger flies, stronger winds, and bigger fish. The additional power makes casting sinking lines easier and helps turn over larger fly patterns when conditions become challenging.
Perfect for:
-
Tasmania’s larger lakes, deep-water fishing, and heavy sinking lines
-
Double streamer rigs, larger flies, stronger winds, and bigger fish
If you're regularly fishing heavy sinking lines, larger flies, or simply prefer a more powerful rod, this is the option we'd recommend.
Fully Customisable
While we've carefully selected these three fly lines to cover the majority of lake fishing situations, we're happy to customise the outfit to suit your local waters, fishing style, or personal preferences. If you'd prefer a different sink rate, another intermediate option, or an alternative floating line, just let us know.

With three premium fly lines, three spools, backing fitted, and leaders included, it's ready to fish straight out of the box. Simply choose your preferred rod and hit the water.
