As the Australian dollar drops in value against the US dollar we have been getting emails from suppliers and distributors that announce 'immediate price rise'.

Most new items coming into the store are more expensive they have ever been, but they are also the best quality ever. 

We have a huge range or rods, reels, lines, clothing, and the range of fly tying gear is fantastic. Most of the covid related supply issues are being resolved. There are still a few hiccups, but not too many.

We currently have around 700 fly rods in stock, so we can find you something for most situations. These rods range from around $200 to over $2000.

Rods stocked include Sage, GLoomis, Douglas, Orvis, Echo, Hardy, Loop, Primal, Scott, Pisces, Redington, TFO, Airflo and more.

As rod stocks are renewed they will almost certainly all rise in price, so if you thinking of upgrading or getting a new rod - ACT NOW. Predictions are the AUD will continue to drop against the USD, so prices will continue to rise. 

Just as an example Sage R8s will rise from $1650 to $1805, Sonic rise to $1120, Salt HD to $1710 and Trout LL to $1590 next Tuesday Nov 01. 

Most other brands will, or already have risen, so if you want a new rod, you can buy online www.essentialflyfisher.com.au or call the shop on 03 63318944

Remember if you can buy it online we have it in store.

Shipping is Express and FREE on $150 purchases or more.
