Technology

KonneticHD

KonneticHD Technology is an optimized graphite-to-resin ratio that uses a higher density (HD) graphite fiber composite for blanks that are lighter and stronger than previous generations of graphite technology (Konnetic).

  • Lighter, Stronger

    Lightweight strength leads to multi-application aptitude, providing quick recovery and seamless energy transfer.

  • On Point Accuracy

    Harness heightened casting control and dead-on accuracy by way of improved recovery speed and energy delivery.

  • Intuitive Operative

    KonneticHD brings situational awareness to the forefront, generating the line speed and loop control you need to pivot and prevail.

Why Arrow

Multi-Application

When every day on the water presents codes to crack, versatile ARROW series comes equipped with the high performing multi-application wherewithal to roll with whatever the what-ifs.

  • Dry Fly

    Tuned for fast-action operations, ARROW brings deft marksmanship to the dry fly game, allowing for delicate turnovers with long, fine leaders, plus finding equal footing pitching big terrestrials to territorial targets.

  • Nymphing

    Multi-fly rigs coupled with enough tungsten to own the strike zone yearn for power and pace. ARROW delivers with the kind of smooth energy transfer that syncs with heavier setups, plus the stack mends needed to keep them in play.

  • Streamers

    Whether firing sink-tip setups or manipulating heavy articulated artillery, the ARROW family obliges, with smooth energy transfer for distance and precision, plus enough backbone to control large fish on the run.

Amazing Rod!

"I’ve owned the Sonic for 6 years and was hesitant to upgrade. However, when I started casting the Arrow all my concerns went out the window! This rod exceeded expectations with casting and mending nymphs. Even throwing streamers is easy with the Arrow. It also mates very well to the Shift reel."

— SCOTT T. (5/5)

"Moderately fast action with excellent line control. Fishes smooth and cleanly, and looks sharp too. Very happy with my purchase."

— Caden (5/5)

Arrow 6 wt fly rod

"Absolutely floored upon using this rod for the first time. So so easy and yet a rocket launcher with precision. This rod is really too good for the price point. I've now trout streamer and bass fished with it with equal happiness."

— michael g. (5/5)

Responsive!

"The Arrow is a pleasure to cast! It responds very well to the anglers casting style and presentation."

— Raul R. (5/5)

Most surprising purchase in years

"I bought one of these to fill in rarely used gap in my kit so I wasn’t expecting much but I’ve been blown away. I’ll probably end up replacing a few other rods with models from this line. I broke my 9’5wt X last year and this thing casts just like it."

— Ethan B. (5/5)

"They sent the wrong rod. . . . had to reach out to them and let them know what happened. Emailed customer service and they are resending me the correct rod."

— Edward (3/5)

Arrow 690-4FB a very dynamic option.

"A great all around rod"

— Jamie M. (5/5)

Light and precise

"Light and precise"

— Francesco G. (4/5)

What a rod!

"Great power, and a blast to cast. Streamers, and heavy nymph rigs are no problem. Paired it with a rio gold max and really enjoyed it. Can't explain how much I enjoy this rod."

— WH (5/5)
