POWER - CONTROL - FORGIVENESS
POWER - CONTROL - FORGIVENESS
Powerful and incredibly easy to cast, our S1 rods are built to maximize your chances and have as much fun as possible every time you get out on the the water.
Solid S1 Series
Powerful and incredibly easy to cast, our S1 rods are built to maximize your chances and have as much fun as possible every time you get out on the the water. This means rods that not only help you cover all spots and corners of the water in any type of conditions but also fight and land fish.
Our goal was always to build a rod that requires minimum effort yet delivers maximum output. To us, this means a perfectly progressive, powerful curve with that crisp, springy feeling we all love in a rod. A big advantage, apart from the fact that it’s just more fun to fish with, is that the design of the S1 rod helps when fighting fish as well, as it reduces the risk of pulling the fly out or breaking the tippet during headshakes, jumps, and quick direction changes.
For us to design rods offering maximum forgiveness and maximum top performance, we have used the latest materials and technology available, trying to combine the two into a perfect match to reach our desired goal. It took us years of experimenting and fine-tuning to get here and we are ecstatic to finally be able to offer them to fellow anglers around the world. We believe these are the most forgiving yet powerful rods ever built.

Maximum Performance?
When we talk about maximum performance, we mean those casts where everything comes together perfectly—when you load the rod to its limit and aim to hit the far bank. We’ve designed rods that, while incredibly forgiving, still pack nearly limitless power, helping you reach almost any target without bottoming out.

Forgiveness in a rod?
When we talk about forgiveness in a rod, we’re referring to those casts where your timing isn’t perfect, and you don’t create a proper D-loop to generate power. In most fishing situations, you’ll face challenges like wind, limited space, and your own skill level. For those times when you start your forward cast too early or when the wind disrupts your D-loop, the S1 rod steps in as your best ally, ensuring it loads as effectively as possible based on the speed and power of your cast. That’s why we invested so much time in developing a perfect, progressive curve.

How to tame the most powerful, lightweight materials on the market!
Rest assured, all our rods are crafted from the most advanced materials available today. But simply using high-modulus graphite and graphene doesn’t make a great fly rod. The real challenge for anyone aiming to build exceptional rods is finding a way to make them perform flawlessly in real fishing situations.
That’s why we worked tirelessly to ensure every rod model within the S1 series feels and performs consistently. If you try and love one rod, you can be confident that the rest of the series will meet your expectations as well.
Even with our extensive rod-building experience, it took us longer than expected to perfect the balance of high-performance materials, resins, and techniques to create what we call the ideal progressive curve. Was the extra time and effort worth it? We’ll let you decide.

Hexa Grip - A New Perspective
Hexa Grip - A New Perspective
The Hexa Grip has been on Christer’s mind for over a decade. Listen to the story behind the development of a handle that has changed all our minds of what a fly rod handle should look like and perform like.
Benefits of the Hexa Grip
Whether you’re a fan of the look or not, we encourage anyone who’s unsure to give it a try on the water. The Hexa Grip not only makes gripping the rod easier, reducing strain on your hand and forearm, but it also helps you find the right angles for more precise casting. The unique foam and carbon shield construction allows the blank to load even deeper, giving you a more direct feel of the rod.
There’s a reason all of us at Solid Tackle use the Hexa Grip ourselves. For our spey rods, we’ve intentionally designed the handles slightly shorter than traditional spey handles to engage your lower hand more, helping the rod load deeper. This makes casting more effortless, allowing you to tap into even more power from the rod.
Key features:
• Enhanced precision and superior line control
• Comfortable, secure grip
• Softer, more tactile feel in the hand
• Deeper, more responsive rod flex
• Direct, seamless connection with the blank
• Reduced strain on arm and hand

“Outstanding - the control and feel I get with this rod is like nothing I have tried before. And I have to say, after almost a week of fishing with the 796 single hand rod with Hexa grip I will never go back to a traditional handle again”
