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 7116 can be summed up in one word – versatility. This rod is purpose-built for a wide range of freshwater and coastal applications. It excels on small to medium-sized rivers, turning over streamers and salmon flies with pinpoint accuracy and effortless distance. Powered by enhanced 7X blank technology, the 7116 combines power and precision to deliver superior loop control throughout the casting cycle. It also benefits from a deep, dependable backbone to help subdue hard-fighting fish.
