The Horizon Tactical Saltwater Series Fly Rods is the evolution of Horizon’s renowned saltwater version of the TRS series of fly rods.
In 2019 Horizon introduced a completely new range of The Horizon Tactical Saltwater Series Fly Rods that will cover all the bases for the saltwater fly-fisherman, from the hugely versatile 990-4 TSS to the leviathan-taming 1583-4 TSS.
Horizon Tactical Saltwater Series 990-4
9-weight, 9-foot 0-inch, 4-piece
The 990-4 TSS was the first saltwater rod in the TSS rod range to be released. The 9’0” 9-wt is without question our biggest selling saltwater fly-rod and with good reason. It’s not just a great all-round saltwater rod, but is also the ideal rod for species in exotic destinations. It is also the perfect rod for tigerfish in the Zambezi River and other environents. The 990-4 TSS features an ultra-fast action and has a short fighting butt typical of a rod like this.
Horizon Tactical Saltwater Series 1290-4
12-weight, 9-foot 0-inch, 4-piece
When you are targeting large fish like giant trevally off the coast of South Africa or on the flats of the Seychelles or Mauritius, a 12-wt is the rod of choice for all serious anglers. The 1290-4 TSS fly-rod will handle these hard-fighting fish and thanks to its ultra-fast action it will drive large 6/0 flies into the wind with ease.
Horizon Tactical Saltwater Series 1583-4
15-weight, 8-foot 3-inch, 4-piece
If you are looking for a fly-rod to tame the largest saltwatwater fish anywhere in the world, the 1583-4 is the rod for you. We tested this rod on 200+lbs tarpon and the rod performed flawlessly. This is just the sort of rod you’d want for yellowfin tuna off the Western Cape coast. This rod has immense backbone and pulling power. The rod has a fighting grip and has an extra-long fighting butt to fit into a fighting bucket.
