GUIDE II SERIES
The Guide II Series, new for 2025 are one of the E.L.Keuling Rod Company's best values.Handcrafted from quality components using the same care and commitment to perfection that all E.L.Keuling rods have in common. These fly rods are attractively priced making them an excellent choice for new fly anglers just beginning to start their journey or seasoned anglers like professional guides seeking a modestly priced fly rod to use as a client loaner or backup rod.
These lightweight, multi-purpose fly rods are built on carbon fiber medium- fast blanks (freshwater rods) and moderately-fast blanks (saltwater). The carbon fiber freshwater blank finish is a high gloss light green or dark grey color complemented by dark green guide wraps. The saltwater version is an aqua blue high gloss finish with dark blue guide wraps. The rods' handle is classic "Keuling" design half wells and full wells custom made in our shop from Ultra -flor grade cork. The rod is designed to give the angler a smooth easy-to-cast action with excellent accuracy and power to handle longer casts.
