Guideline Premium Trout Gear
When we introduced the NT11 trout series, we set out to build an affordable high-end rod that performed at a premium level. It features a powerful mid-flex action with an unmatched recovery speed. It is also extremely light in hand. Since it’s launch, we’ve been excited to put this rod in the hands of trout anglers around the world from Spain to New Zealand and a bit through the United States as well.
After the Flylords Driftin’ West Giveaway, we are excited to share the NT11 trout series with all of you who may be unfamiliar with Guideline. In May through Yellowstone Angler, the NT11 was awarded the best mid-priced rod paired with the phrase “best buy.” It also had the lightest overall weight of any rod in the entire test.
The overall consensus was “The NT11 earns its spot as a starting rod and not a primary backup, with a near identical experience for less money than a High-End rod. Great all-around performance, best rod for the money” Read what else George and James Anderson had to say about the rod via link further down. The NT11 Trout along with it’s recommended line, the Presentation+ is already available for purchase at Yellowstone Angler as well.
For the last year, guides around the USA have already been using the NT11 Trout combo with clients, so we thought we’d ask them for their experiences with the rod related to their particular fisheries. Read on below for some opinions on the NT11 trout series from the East Coast, Ozarks, and Rocky Mountain range.

“My favorite rod in my quiver for large freestone rivers like the Roaring Fork, Colorado, and Gunnison is the NT11 6wt. It is a very versatile rod, allowing me to heavy indicator rigs as run off slows down or throw big bushy Chernobyl dries with a tasty dropper below. The NT11 trout series is the rod my clients and I reaching for day after day”
// Ben Alex, Connecticut
“The NT11 trout is my go-to rod for all applications while guiding. If I have to carry one rod for the day this is the stick. It gives you all the performance of a rod twice the price, and is smoother than McConaughey in Dazed and Confused”
// Greysen Lincoln, Colorado
“My lineup of NT11s has stood up to every challenge northwest Colorado has to offer. From throwing heavy nymph rigs and turning over heavy fish, to dry fly situations that come down to millimeters, these rods stand in a class of their own. They’ve found a home in all of my boats, as well as my backcountry and walking kits”

“The NT11 is one of the finest rods I have had the pleasure of casting. As a guide, I have been fortunate enough to cast almost all of the current “high-end rods” from most major rod companies and I can say without a doubt the NT 11 can compete with or out-cast most of them and for a fraction of the price. What my clients love most about the NT11 is the great feel of the rod without sacrificing accuracy. Some rods will have feel but lack in the accuracy department and the NT11 is not one of those. It is extremely accurate with great feel and flex. One place the NT11 has shined for my clients is dry fly fishing. As we all know when fishing dry flies, delicate presentation and accuracy are everything and the NT11 achieves this without sacrificing power when you need to make that longer cast. I think one would be hard-pressed to find a better mid-priced rod that performs this well”
// Logan Huff, Arkansas
"Myself and clients are always really impressed with the “smoothness” of the rod. The rod's ability to load and release the energy smoothly forward makes casting effortless"
