Nash Air Force F20 Rods Various (ITEM BACKORDER)

EXTREME CASTING WITHOUT COMPROMISE 

The pinnacle of modern rod blank technology, Air Force rods have been developed for one single purpose – to allow elite casters and competition anglers to achieve greater distances with greater accuracy than ever before.

Where every yard gained impacts success rate or defines match performance Air Force rods deliver baited rigs or spods to new limits.

Designed as a true all round casting tool, offering improved casting distances without compromising fish playing action. So remarkable are the F20 series in their performance that when samples were first sent out to hand selected extreme casters through Europe and the UK it was widely assumed these were the flagship F40 rods thanks to their incredible characteristics.
