C.F. Burkheimer Fly Rod

TROUT RODS

CF Burkheimer trout rods have been quietly taking over the quality trout waters the world over. Find an angler that quietly goes about his business, casts a beautiful line with accuracy and precision and a grin on his face that stretches ear to ear, more than likely you'll find a Burkie in his hand.  

Need’n to throw a #12 Green Drake or #16~18 Elk Hair in the riffle? That’s our 590-4. Out head hunting on the Henry’s Fork Ranch section? Present your trout offerings confidently with the 489-4 DAL nicknamed “The Ranch Rod”. Picky Bow’s selectively feeding on Midges, Micro Caddis, PMD’s in a Spring Creek or glass smooth back eddy, there are a host of fishy challenges and situations out there made for Burkies.

Their trout rods are light in the hand, and heavy in performance. If they don’t cast 15~20 feet with good feel and turnover, then rifle out an honest 70’+ they’re not a Burkheimer. They build rods that you’ll love to fish with, because that’s their passion.

The trout rods contain the most current State-of-the-Art technology.  Using buzz-word marketing lingo to describe tapers or models is not the Burkheimer way. Instead, Kerry and team focus on designing and crafting exceptional fly rods—fly rods with that “Burkie feel” and performance.

Burkheimer trout rods are available in three distinct build styles; the only difference is hardware and cosmetics.  Whether you choose a Vintage, Presentation, or Classic, they all feature the same solid Burkheimer design and action. It starts with the blanks designed and and rolled in house, and they build from there.

TroutHunter is offering the Deep Action Load (DAL) series of rods. Their deeper loading feel should not be confused with slow, loose or hard to manage actions. The DAL’s offers a ton of feel (feedback) and superior light tippet protection, while delivery trout food on target with minimal effort.  A perfect combination for trouthunting the Henry's Fork. More on the DAL’s below.

 The DAL rods were designed for angler’s who prefer more relaxed and refined actions, and love the feel and feedback of a fly rod as it loads deep and unloads quickly and predictably. These rods offer full deep flexing qualities and a fast recovery cycle. You want a gentle presentation while protecting light tippets with a #20 Midge or a #16 PMD ? This rod series will do it.  DAL’s are highly versatile with a forgiving flex that still provides superior performance. Designed for fishing, not the parking lot shoot out, but if you know how to treat’m they’ll win those too!
