For the needs of the SCANDINAVIAN style of casting, we offer the ROARINGRIVER STINGER series. With eight rods, ranging from 12'6" to 15', these rods were designed to optimally cast floating or intermediate shooting heads of 33 to 46 ft. This is the most recent development in two-hand casting, a much faster, shorter stroke using the lower hand (underhand casting). These rods help you generate high line speed and give you great shooting distance casts. With a fast action taper, these rods let you make overhead false casts, generating the highest line speed possible. That's assuming you have sufficient room for back casting, such as gravel bar or ocean beaches.

STINGER GLX - At first glance you'll notice the nickel titanium recoil guides by REC, which are different both in looks and function. Weighing about as much as one individual traditional guide, the total weight of the rod is noticably lighter. They're also flexible, making a mistake like catching a tree branch, nothing but a slight hang up. Exquisitely crafted Portuguese cork handles with a special composite cork end-cap and fore-grip fitted to our exclusive offset-oval sculptured our proprietary GLX graphite tapered to the exact standards of Skandinavian style casting.

STINGER ALTA - These tods help you generate very high line speed thanks to a special graphite blend forulated for a fast action. With premium Hopkins and Halloway components and beautiful Portuguese cork handles, the Alta offers everything you could want for Scandinavian style casting.

FR15089-3Length: 12'6"Line: 8 - 9Pieces: 3 For all size rivers, these models are utility players capable of handling wind, rain, longer casts and bigger flies and fins. The heavier line will help stabilize the swing and hold depth in faster water. At just 12'6" it still feels very light in hand, and is a vary capable "Overhead" casting rod should backcast space open up, and the urge to cast this way takes over.

FR150910-3Length: 12'6"Line: 9 - 10Pieces: 3 Powerhouse little rods. These guys are for heavy flies and good size fish in all but the most demanding distance situations. The heavier line may actually reduce the need for you to overstress to make a long cast. With this line class, wind is of little consequence. 36 to 38 feet heads are most comfortable as the stiffer rod provides a longer working lever, and manages this length quite will. As a fast and powerful rod, it is a joy to overhead cast and can serve double duty for salt water surf fishing, and even reaching the drop off ledges for creatures from the abyss.
