Finally, a nymphing rod that was built from seat to tip with nymphing in mind. The Reaver rod was not built to play any games, it was built to change the game of Euro style, and tight line nymphing. Here is why:
Cork dampens feel, period. The only way around that is to remove the cork, so we did. The Reaver is the first rod on the market to incorporate a 3D printed, PEI 9085 handle, that will enhance feel rather than dampen it. Our proprietary design allows for a handle that is built via "additive manufacturing" to eliminate waste and can be manufactured to fit each rod exactly, no matter the size of the blank. This means less fillers, which further dampen the feel. By working with some of the top aerospace and 3D printing engineers in the USA, we were able to build a grip that is extremely light weight, UV resistant, won't soak up water, and will not get hot in the sun due to it's low thermal transfer intelligence. The shape of the handle is a one of a kind rod grip design based upon a hammer, which always sits in the hand in the correct position. Why shouldn't your fly rod do the same?
Black pearl Recoil guides span the length of the blank to look great, perform better, and maximize durability. The real kicker is that we added an extra guide just above the grip to eliminate line sag during tight line situations more than ever before. This also keeps the line closer at hand for increased line control and more efficient fish catching abilities.

I have fished with a lot of different rods from different brands and the REAVER blows them away, it cast wonderfully ,line shoots with ease. The extra guide is a great addition, and the one of a kind grip makes a world of difference from feel of the strike to how light this rod is, you can cast all day . I would recommend this to anyone once you try this REAVER from Syndicate you will be hooked. This is now my go to rod.
I have fished Syndicates Pipeline series in 2wt, 3wt & the 4wt for a few years now as well as some of the Aquos models. I have recently solely been using the new Reaver in a 2wt and I must say, I love it. A rod is a rod to many, but you cannot knock something until you try it! This rod has incredibly smooth backbone all the way down the blank and the Recoil guides are simply amazing. That lower guide eyelet is a lifesaver in wet conditions, wind & simply easier to find your line without it slapping over your rod & reel. How about the grip you may ask? It’s no doubt the best contour shape, texture & design that I have fished. You can feel every single “tink” of your tungsten bead off every rock. I kid you not. The original Pipeline is an amazing rod, but this rod is truly something worth trying. It is a very accurate rod for not only Euro, but also dry dropper style for me. I have fished this rod in many water types from the GSMNP daily to our East TN tailwaters. It has handled everything with ease from 4inch trout to 22+ inch trout and even multiple gigantic Redhorse carp! The backbone of this rod is incredible & I encourage you to try it.
