Vision Fly Fishing’s 2010 UK catalogue dropped through my letter box the other day and what a lovely thing it is. I appreciate good design in product catalogues, and this a nice one

Along with the highly-rated Catapult flyrods and Koma reels, they seem to be expanding their clothing and wading gear ranges. Well worth grabbing one if you find a copy.

Agreed. Great tackle.

The older catalogue is available in pdf form, which i'm sure will be updated to the 2010 soon.

Hi Guys

Check out there Cult rods ...........recently added one to my collection sadly not really had a chance to put it through its paces.......

I dont think many people are making rods in the Cult class at present such a lovely deep action designed for fishing, rather than all the rage fast action rods with no "feel"

Dear Englander,

I've been writing ( occasionally ) ad copy for a major British Supplier ( American Owned ) for very many years.

Describing rod actions for the purposes of selling to the unwary I have used words like 'Honeyed' 'Silky' 'Swift Actioned' and a very wide variety of others but I did that for money !

Please enlighten me , what is a 'Lovely Deep Action' and exactly who are you and who are you working for ? I may have a client for you . You are really good at this sort of thing !

Best wishes

Steve Parton

Hi Steve

I believe Vision describe the cult as "meduim fast" i probably borrowed the "deep" from there web site but i think its rather a good way to decribe a rod that bends into the handle. Personally i think there rods are slower than described ?

I bought a second hand Vision 3 zone 9' 5# for £42 from e-bay after i bought a new £50 fast action shaky Trion 9' 5/6#and trying a few of my mates rods..............this rod was £125 new i think ? it was a revelation to me it flexed much further down then other rods id used,it was slower too but the "feel" or feel of the fight as it were was superb !

Possibly as i come from a course fishing back ground, 13' "soft" match rods that bend over with with 3lb line and a 5" roach were my love although i still target perch on home made stick floats and light tackle

Most rods seem to be pretty fast actioned these days and very "tippy" i simply love my 9' 5# 3 zone i said just after i bought it i said to a mate "If I broke it id happily pay £125 for a new one i loved it that much ! "

Tempting fate ............. yep broke it a few days later in a car park of a fishery simply threading the line and pulling toward me i was broken hearted even felt sick ! i couldnt fish ! i just watched my mate fish !

Luckily i didnt have to spend £125 on a new rod these nice guys at Guideline ?? Uk dealer replaced the tip, but i had to send the whole rod first cost me £15 handling ..........service or what !

I just a huge Vision fan, although in not sure i will forgive them for discontinuing the 3 zone rod's there new Nite range which i think is ment to be a replacement for the 3 zone ? just doenst look at nice i dont like the finish either, although i dont know how the cast .............
