CTS Quartz DH is a two-handed fly rod blank featuring our proprietary CTS CrystalGlass™ fibreglass.

CrystalGlass™ is our extremely high grade uni-directional S-Glass with amazing clarity. It’s fibreglass like you’ve never seen it before – light, lively and brilliantly flawless.

Smooth loading and with great power, the new generation Quartz DH two-handed fly rod blank is a delight to fish. Built for catching Salmon, Steelhead and swinging large flies but with the smooth flex of a fibreglass fly rod.

Made in our world-class facility in Auckland New Zealand. Tested by the most discerning anglers in every corner of the world.

  8. W Jude Fly Rod Co (store manager) – September 13, 2017

    I built an an 11ft 6wt for a guy from Canada that uses it on Great Lakes trib’s. It has a load window of 350 to about 500 grains, when I was playing around with it, I put a Cortland Short Belly Spey line on it, 6/7wt. It did roll and spey style casts very well. You could feel an even load all the way down into the blank. The reports I get from the owner, he loves it for swinging tube flies.

  9. FlyRodCrafters (store manager) – September 13, 2017

    The DH11 is a very powerful and smooth blank. The grain window is spot on. A 425gr scandi head is money for me. I also enjoyed throwing a 375gr Skagit short head.
