A day of multi-bug rigs, wind-resistant indicators and the requisite high-stick rod position can be enough to make your arm fall off before lunch. The most obvious nymph-specific feature of the 99 is its namesake 9-foot, 9-inch length, which makes short work of long, drag-free drifts. But that’s just the beginning.


  • Loads lower on the blank to generate open loops, helping avoid tangles with multiple fly and indicator rigs
  • A stiffer tip section handles heavy payload delivery but retains the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes.
  • Slightly oversized guides specifically placed to make stack mending easier
