Saltwater 9ft 0in #8 4pce : A slick, fast action that loads quickly so a fly can confidently be pitched accurately to saltwater species in double quick time.  A forgiving tip allows for short precise casts when bonefish are sighted at the last minute.  The lower section boasts plenty of power to punch long, straight casts into headwinds.  This rod doubles up for light pike fishing also.

Saltwater 9ft 0in #9 4pce : A fast action 9-weight which packs a punch to cope with whatever questions are asked of it.  As with all the FX1 saltwater series a rod designed to deal with short range casts, yet has plenty of reserve to handle long casts with bulky flies and subdue tenacious flats fish.  This rod is also the ideal companion for those wishing to target pike on reservoirs or lakes.

Saltwater 9ft 0in #10 4pce : A progressive action and fast recovery makes this powerful 10-weight behave like a rod a couple of line sizes lighter, which is an absolute pleasure to cast.  Designed for the rigours of flats species like permit, tarpon and snook, it’s at home presenting a lightweight crab pattern to permit, or casting more bulky creations at rolling tarpon in open water.

Saltwater 9ft 0in #12 4pce : A powerful rod which provides feedback during casting the result is a user friendly rod.  Perfect for chasing giant trevally or other large predatory fish.  A rod that not just performs in a raging gale, but one which propels huge, awkward flies like poppers with ease.  Capable of wielding heavy wire trace rigs when sharks and barracuda or other toothy creatures are on the cards.
