Stay away from flextec cheap budget rods designed for sales on such as flea bay i have a cheap greys grxi rod reel and line river set up you can purchase and im only 10 miles away but please dont buy flextec they aint what you think totaly lifeless rods

hello mate
i have a greys streamflex and use it for all my fishing on rivers including czech nymphing (most of my river fishing is done with nymphs upstream)
It is availiable in 10ft 3wt, 4wt or 5wt (i have the 5wt and find it handles al methods great)
The only thing is that its £210 soo its a bit pricey but if you shop around you could get it down to £170 i think (best price ive seen for the rod)
i think airflo do a streamtec at 10ft4/5wt for £100 and ive handled it without a reel on it and found it felt quite nice in the hand.
there are other european companies such as hends and hanak who do specific czech nymphing tools and are at a very fair price (around a 190 euros for the hanak and 300euros for the hends) although i think these rods are in quite high demand at the moment so obtaining them is difficult
The hends is a particularly nice rod because it comes with a 1 ft extension peice which turns it from a 9ft 2wt dry fly rod to a 10ft3wt czech nymphing rod.
If you want to look at the extreme price spectrum modern flies does specifically designed competition rods for the czech nympher between 400 an 500euros
Hope this helps

a Hardy marksman drifter is a nice tool for the job but they aint cheap one of the best rods i own

Have a look on ebay or here for an Orvis Western 2 (10ft #4) or Cortland do one, again pretty cheap. Oh also Snowbee do the diamond its about £120 i think. All decent czech nymph rods that don't break the bank.JB
