LPX Chrome

The feeling of being connected

Guideline LPX Chrome is a large series of fly rods covering both single hand, switch and double hand models. They are designed and built with a brand-new Guideline rod action, which have a ¾ deep load and power that kicks in earlier in the cast without sacrificing the speed in the rods. They have a lightness, stability and responsiveness that connect you with the cast in a totally new way.

These fly rods are perfect tools for hunting large seatrout, salmon, or steelhead. LPX Chrome are premium rods stacked full of features, rarely seen at these prices.

Strong, light & stable

The advanced carbon layup in these rods features C.A.P M4.0™ Technology (Complex Axial Pattern) paired with a unidirectional carbon fiber structure for maximum strength and stability in all directions, as well as low weight.

To lower the weight further, LPX Chrome is equipped with lightweight titanium stripping guides. For a firm and comfortable grip, we use Flor grade cork, which also provides sublime aesthetics to the rod. The matte gray, custom-designed reel seats are hard anodized with deep teal colored highlights for a pleasant look.

The rod line

Double hand: From small double handers to the big guns. The actions are adjusted for each model and length, to ensure you get the best casting and fishing tool available for a given fishing situation. For the models in 12'3", 12'6” and 12'9" lengths, we recommend our compact 3D+ shooting head series or the 4D Compact Body and Tip concept. Rods from 13'9" to 15'9" will perform superb with the original 4D- and 3D+ shooting heads.

Switch: These 11'7" switch rods are small, super light double handers made for double hand casting. A perfect tool for hunting large seatrout, salmon, or steelhead. For fly line of choice, we recommend our compact 3D+ shooting head series and the 4D Compact Body and Tip concept.

Single hand: These 9'9" #6, #7 and #8 are built to carry bigger flies chasing migratory trout, seatrout, and salmon. The rating on these rods is spot-on and leaves no need to overload. We recommend to us them with a shooting head like Compact 3+, 4D Compact multi tip our ULS lines. A hot tip is to use our WF Bullet line If you want to hunt for “chromes” fishing upstream with bombers.

4 or 6 pieces?

For the joy of the traveller, most of the Chrome double-handed rods come as 6-piece models which reduces the size of the rod tube. They also fit well inside our Guideline roller bag.

Eco features

The LPX Series is a result of years spent on research and sourcing to achieve a greener flyrod, from both the components to the production. We have significally reduced the amount of dangerous chemicals. For example by using low VOC epoxies for assembly and rod coating. The rods are made using our GL ECO-Tech™ production technique where we avoid grinding the blanks, which normally produces harmful dust at the production facility. It also gives you the structured surface finish on the rod, with added strength as a result.

The stripping guides are made out of titanium, and for the single leg guides, we use a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame instead of chrome plating, to get rid of lead.

The rod tubes have a lower diameter and are made with PP (Polypropylene) and recycled polyester tube fabric. The same fabric is used as well for the rod bag.
