Affinity DQ spey fly rod blank was developed with input from many respected double handed anglers worldwide.
While UH and Scandi rods rely on deep bottom loading to create a reverse action that keeps the tip tracking straight, the DQ tapers are optimized for a different casting style – one that benefits from a firm butt section and a more responsive tip. This makes them ideal for high-speed line control, efficient loop formation, and versatility in both short and long casting applications.

- Colours: Select from sanded finish (P2000), Clear Coat or a stunning array of Standard / Metallic Colour paints
As part of the International Year of the Salmon, CTS is donating $5 (NZD) from every Affinity DQ sold to the Wild Salmon Center to go towards helping conserve wild salmon populations. Read more…

This is far and away the nicest blank I have ever built on (and I have built on many of the name brands). Everything from the shipping container to the alignment markers to the polished finish; all first class. Wrapping guides on now and hope to be casting soon. Can’t wait and I will be purchasing more – Thank you!

I waited 8 weeks for delivery and fished this blank within a week of receipt. Worth the wait.

In truth, haven’t cast the rod yet, but the cosmetics are outstanding and it is very straight and true.

The only thing I will say is you guys should print the decal higher for 2 handed rods. At least in my case it was buried in handle. Feels great though can’t wait to fish it!!
