Zpey develops the joys of fishing At Zpey, we are proud of our products but we are never completely satisfied. We believe that even something good can be improved upon. With that in mind, we see each newly developed rod, line or reel as the next link in a continual evolution toward the optimum. The thoughts and ideas behind all Zpey products originate on the water and are perfected at the drawing table. Fly fishing is our lifestyle and allows us to be in close communication with accomplished and dedicated fly fishermen worldwide, primarily Scandinavia. On the following pages you will see the results of our consistent development of quality and design. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned fly fisherman, our complete range is sure to match your level and contribute positively to your fishing joy. Cast after cast.
Zpey news We have redesigned the bent Zpey handle and the new and improved handle is used on all our new double hand rod series. NEWS To optimize the transfer of energy from fly caster to fly rod, the grip is crucial. Henrik Mortensen immediately saw the potential of the bent Zpey handle the first time he laid eyes on it, but also understood that the concept could be improved. Henrik came to Zpey about six years ago and has been working on redesigning this handle from day one. His main focus has been a handle that will help fly casters master more effective casting styles, based on the concept of direct and natural feedback. The new double hand rods (including the new Switch rods) will, through the shape of the new handle, be your own private casting instructors. Now, with the season of 2013 gradually materializing, Zpey is proud to present the new and improved bent handle: - the new handle will make it far easier to cast along straight lines and will ruthlessly inform you every time you sin. - the new handle makes it possible to present your fly using less power and with far less waste of energy - the new handle will make it easier to both hold and control the rod while casting. - through focusing on the lower (and bent) handle, you will be able to utilize the action of the rod almost to perfection. - to sum it up; the new handle will help you cast longer and better, with less power 4

Inspire In Zpey we never compromise when it comes to quality. The brand new Zpey Inspire fly rod series is no exception. Even though this series is placed in the medium range price class, there is nothing mediocre about the quality. When it comes to actions the Zpey Philosophy is all we need: Rods that bend almost all the way down, stroke lengths that are relatively short and tip sections that are tough enough to secure smooth and continuous actions through the whole lengths of the rods.
