THE CHOICE OF WORLD CHAMPIONS

The HYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT series from Soldarini Fly Tackle represents a significant innovation with its 45-degree carbon fibre lay-up system. In this unique approach, the fibres are aligned neither lengthwise nor crosswise, but at a 45-degree angle to the rod axis, forming an X-shaped structure thanks to the alternating arrangement of the carbon fibre layers.

This construction method, which is often used for fishing rods subject to heavy use, such as carp and surf rods, was first used by Sandro Soldarini for fly fishing. Numerous tests have confirmed the advantages of this configuration, which significantly improves the performance of the rod.

HYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT rods use 8 different types of highly modulated carbon fibre, arranged at an angle of 45 degrees. Combined with highly modern resins, also known as radial carbon, slim, light and highly sensitive blanks are created that don't compromise on strength and durability. These rods offer a pleasant action, which is also ideal for skilfully landing larger fish on thin line. These rods also feature excellent torsional stability, enabling you to achieve unimagined casting precision.

The high quality of these products is not limited to the carbon fibre materials used: only the best materials available on the market are used for the components. The rod handle is made of Flor Grade cork, combined with an elegant reel seat made of aluminium with a carbon spacer.

The greatest care was also taken in the selection of the rod guides. The recoil guides are made of a special nickel-titanium alloy, which is not only extremely hard but also flexible, which has several advantages. On the one hand, the yielding guides influence the rod action as little as possible. On the other hand, these flexible guides do not break when subjected to excessive loads, but rather deform before returning to their original shape. Furthermore, they can withstand environmental influences, without corroding. The stripping guide comes from Sea Guide.

These fly rods come with a triangular rod tube with practical inner compartments that allow for quick rod assembly and disassembly as well as safe transport. Thanks to the adjustable shoulder strap, the transport tube can be conveniently taken anywhere.

Thanks to its exceptional reliability, top quality, and outstanding features, the HYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT has become the preferred choice of many competitive anglers worldwide. This rod model, prized for its distinctive carbon-fibre layout in the rod blank and unrivalled casting precision, has played a major role in some of the most prestigious competitions. One of many examples of the rod's excellence is the World Championship 2023, where the French team won the title with the HYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT. That is why Sandro Soldarini's Tournament rod series rightly bears its status as the absolute reference in the world of professional fishing.

At the request of the international competition market, where Soldarini is synonymous with innovation and high performance, we wanted to develop a longer size of our Euronymph star Tournament 11ft #3, multiple world champion, considered the queen of nymph rods in the 11ft size, incomparable with any product currently on the market.

It was certainly not easy to make a longer rod, maintaining the same characteristics of the incredible 11 ft #3.

The innovative genius of our patron Sandro Soldarini after a careful analysis of the product, developed the new length 11'4' by working only on the handle part of the rod. This was to ensure that the first three elements did not undergo any substantial modification, and using the technology of the elements with differentiated lengths, already used on other types of specific equipment, we created a perfect competition machine for all those looking for a slightly longer tool, which facilitates the presentation of the lures in a more fluid and natural way.

The extended handle, made with the usual x45 material, means that the action has remained unchanged from its 11ft sister, but increasing length and performance.

Surely the only solution that allows you to make a very long rod, with extreme handling and balance, with incredible performance.
