GAELFORCE Destination 13-foot 9-inch #7/8 6-piece
Presented in a travel-friendly six pieces with no compromise to the signature action of the GAELFORCE Destination series, the Destination 13-foot 9-inch #7/8 is ideally suited to larger rivers, where grilse and two-sea-winter salmon are the primary quarry. A superb choice for the East and West Ranga, the lower Jokla or the Blanda in Iceland, the GAELFORCE Destination 13-foot 9-inch #7/8 pairs well with the GAELFORCE Equalizer ESH Shooting Head #9 (523 grains/34 grams) or the supremely versatile GAELFORCE Equalizer Multi Tip #7/8.or #8/9 if you prefer 15ft tips. The rod tube measures a tidy 31.5 inches (80 centimeters) for maximum portability to exotic destinations for salmon, sea-trout and steelhead fishing.
Utilizing the finest new graphite materials in the construction of the blank, the GAELFORCE Destination 13-foot 9-inch for #7/8 allows the angler to fish “fine and far off” with ultimate precision. The strong tip and the deep progressive action—the signature flex of the Destination series—eliminate side deflection of the tip when lifting line from the water and provide maximum feedback when making a change of direction with a single spey or a snake roll.

-the finest components sourced from around the world
-a matte green finish for maximum stealth with rich silver whippings

Absolutely stunning with the esh #8 and a 10ft poly leader. Just sends the line flying across the river. First day out with it on Saturday and landed an 8lb salmon. A wonderful rod that let me feel every head shake as if the fish was in my hands but enough power to make sure she ended up on the net quickly and cleanly. Stunning bit of kit.
October 23, 2023Absolutely amazing rod. Casts as well and fast a short #8/9 EMT 12m shooting head as a longer spey lines, Eq #7/8 63´ or that Nc FF70 #8/9. The casting lengths are amazing, as is the lightness of the cast. Relatively the best rod action ever in my hands.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4FqKCUv4Vk
