Inspired by the Golden Age of fly fishing, Ström Traditional combines the timeless aesthetics of classic cane rods with the cutting-edge performance of next generation carbon technology. A special edition collection that celebrates the heritage of rod making without compromising on the strength, stability or accuracy expected from modern day anglers.

Built using the same high-performance, 7X technology heptagonal blank as our flagship Ström range, the Traditional features a distinctive cane-inspired finish, complemented by a custom dark nickel and hand-selected myrtle wood reel seat, ergonomic flor cork handle and Japanese kimono silk thread wraps.

Every detail pays tribute to traditional craftsmanship - right down to the ferrule stoppers - whilst simultaneously delivering the exceptional performance of our premium fly rod series.

The 796 excels in situations that call for larger flies fished on both floating and sinking lines, and is an outstanding tool for targeting migratory species across diverse freshwater and coastal environments. Whether turning over surface bombers for rising Atlantic salmon, swinging flies for sea trout, pursuing hard-fighting steelhead or using heavy-sinking lines and big flies on large stillwaters, it delivers exceptional casting power and total line control in all conditions.
