CND Single handed Fly Rods
Gravity Single Handed Rods
The CND BV GT single handed rods quickly got a large following in Scandinavia when they arrived on the scene some years after their legendary double-handed relatives. The rods were characterised by extremely slim blanks, fast recovery, although not with the tip-flex action so common among many single-handed fly rods.
The BV GT single-handed rods are now replaced by the new Gravity series. The upgrade is stunning. CND uses the new, nano-pitch improved prepeg (graphite cloth) for all the Gravity rods. The result are rods which have kept many of the characteristics of the BV GT single-handers, with a considerably reduced swing weight! In addition, CND have developed all-new Gravity rods for saltwater fishing, ranging from 9′ #6 to a 9′ #11. The rods are developed in collaboration with experienced casters and saltwater anglers, most notably Geir Hansen, Jarle Strandberg and Runar Kabbe.
Gravity 9′ – 4#

New for 2024 is the CND Gravity in the 4-weight class. Here, we’re talking about finesse fishing for still water and smaller rivers. With a smooth, soft action and a slightly softer tip than the 5-weight, this is truly the rod for those who want a rod for shy trout. The rod has been tested in both still waters and rivers with most types of lines. Although the rod is designed for finesse fishing, it packs a surprising punch when you occasionally need to cast long distances. The rod is well suited for all types of water casting/spey.
Gravity 9′ – 5#
£565.00
The result of CND’s new technology combined with thorough testing of various prototypes has resulted in a 9-foot #5 rod weighing 88 grams. The rod has been tested with the full spectrum of five-weight lines available on the market. We conclude that this rod handles all types of fly lines, from the most delicate tapers to specialty lines for water casting. The tolerance for the weight of the fly line only reinforces the properties of the new material we have at our disposal in our Gravity series. The ability to cut thinner carbon cloths than previously possible, with a cloth of high modulus resolution, gives you a response in the rod blank that borders on addictive.
Gravity 9′ – 6# & 7#
£565.00
This rod has a deeper action and more powerful tip than similar saltwater rods. What’s unique is that you still have an equally fast line speed, which is particularly important in tough windy conditions by the coast. With the Gravity, you have an extremely good line feel throughout the cast, while feeling that the lower part of the rod never gives up. Gravity has an extra gear.
Gravity 10′ – 7# & 8#
£650.00
Single-handed fly rods suitable for efficient, modern salmon fishing have often been overshadowed by double-handed rods, primarily due to spey casting. Not that you can’t spey cast with a single-handed rod, rather you should learn to if you can’t! We claim that every modern salmon angler should have a proper single-handed rod in the arsenal, maybe except for early season trips fishing very large rivers in high-water conditions. Dry fly fishing, riffling hitch and efficient swinging on smaller rivers – these are all situations where a single-handed rod excels over a double hander.
Gravity 9′ – 11#
£565.00
This rod has a deeper action and more powerful tip than similar rods in the 11-weight class. What’s unique is that you still have an equally fast line speed, which is particularly important in tough windy conditions with large flies. With the Gravity, you have an extremely good line feel throughout the cast, while feeling that the lower part of the rod never gives up. Gravity has an extra gear.
Gravity 9′ – 9#
£565.00
This rod has a deeper action and more powerful tip than similar rods in the 9-weight class. What’s unique is that you still have an equally fast line speed, which is particularly important in tough windy conditions with large flies. With the Gravity, you have an extremely good line feel throughout the cast, while feeling that the lower part of the rod never gives up. Gravity has an extra gear.
Gravity 9′ – 8#
£565.00
This rod has a deeper action and more powerful tip than similar rods in the 8-weight class. What’s unique is that you still have an equally fast line speed, which is particularly important in tough windy conditions with large flies. With the Gravity, you have an extremely good line feel throughout the cast, while feeling that the lower part of the rod never gives up. Gravity has an extra gear.
