Adams XTZ
From the moment we held the first sample of the new XTZ rod blanks in our hands, we knew the design process had made it a masterpiece.
To do justice to this exceptional blank, we had to find some of the highest quality rod components available on the market to complement its features for building an outstanding Euronymphing rod. Each of the components was chosen for its unique characteristics and contributes to the overall performance. Let's take a closer look at each component to appreciate the final product:
The BLANK
XTZ rods come in two different lengths, 10' and 10.6' in class #2 with a medium fast action.
With "X-TorZion Technology" we can produce thinner, stiffer and lighter blanks than ever before. This innovative technology combines 6 separate ultra-thin layers of high modulus Japanese nano-carbon material applied at varying angles of 45 degrees to neutralize torque and increase rod performance.
The main features of the XTZ are increased sensitivity, reactivity and perfect balance. The blank has a consistent but very fast tip recovery force with a "crisp" backbone. The tip section has enough stiffness for a very controlled hook set, while the amazing amount of rod flex protects the lightest tippets, even when very large fish are drilled.
We have applied the benefits of "X-TorZion Technology" to a range of rod blanks and opted for a "medium-action" blank, a deeper-bending blank that allows the angler to present even very small, light nymphs effortlessly, with control and finesse.
Absolute hardcore Euronymphers benefit from the XTZ blank's unpolished "spiral wrap" finish, as "mono rigs" are less likely to stick to the blank under rainy conditions.
What sets the XTZ apart from other Euronymphrutes.
Our grip
In collaboration with CFX composite grips, we have developed an ergonomic, innovative fly rod grip that features a natural carbon fiber gloss and sheen texture. It looks great and feels even better.
XTZ carbon fiber grips are extremely strong under compression while maintaining flex under load.
For the Euronymphe technique, it requires a blank that is extremely sensitive and lets you accurately detect even the most careful bites. Due to the insulating properties of cork, it absorbs a lot of the energy, which makes the resonance from the blank very poorly transmitted. Because the material used in the XTC handle is vibration amplifying and not an insulator like cork, XTC handles are extremely sensitive. The ergonomic shape is very good in the hand.
The REEL SEAT and FIGHTING BUTT
To match all Adams nymph rods, we have also installed a downward closing reel seat on the XTZ to achieve a perfect balance between reel and rod.
The CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum reel seat is manufactured by ALPS Rod Components. ALPS is already very long known for its innovative high-end quality products.
The reel seat is equipped with CFX composite carbon fiber which has the same finish and properties as the carbon handle.
We designed the fighting butt to provide additional comfort and act as a counterweight when drilling a fish. As we added mass to the fighting butt, it was of utmost importance to reduce the weight of another important component:
Rod Rings (11+1)
XTZ rods use ultra-light single-foot Recoil Guides with Black Pearl PVD finish, the lightest and most durable guides on the market. Recoil Guides are made of a special, extremely durable and smooth nickel-titanium alloy. The inherent physical properties of recoil guides include extremely low weight, which is critical to building an overall lightweight tip section. The much lower swing weight results in faster recoil force and therefore less contraflex for optimal throwing accuracy. We use ten single food guides and one snake guide just below the tip ring to help the flying line and leader connection slide through the rings more smoothly. Since the XTZ is a pure Euronymphing rod, we placed the trestle ring only about 20 cm above the handle to reduce line snagging to a minimum. Due to the friction that occurs with stiff mono lines, Fuji SIC rings have been a gold standard in the industry for over 20 years and reduce abrasion to a minimum.
The rod tube
The XTZ rod are protected by a black PVC tube wrapped in Cordura. In the tube there are individual pockets for each part and breaks on the tube a shoulder good for comfortable days. According to our team members and customers, this is a more practical solution than a simple round tube made of carbon or aluminum.

In principle, the customer bears the direct costs for the return of the goods. We reserve the right to refund the return costs in individual cases as a gesture of goodwill.
The shipping costs are clearly communicated to you again in the shopping cart system and on the order page. By entering the shipping address ( country ), the correct shipping amount is automatically displayed.
The flat shipping rate includes the statutory value added tax. Since the VAT on the flat shipping rate is calculated depending on the goods purchased, it may be reduced if goods are purchased at lower VAT rates (e.g. when purchasing books). This means that the shipping fee can only be finally calculated during the ordering process. However, it cannot become higher in the process, but only lower in your favor
