Designed in collaboration with Tim Rajeff, Overcast fly rods are purpose-built for saltwater anglers facing the usual saltwater challenges: wind, distance, accuracy demands, and heavier flies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter extensive testing, the Tim and Flip determined that increased line speed starts with a precisely engineered, longer lever.
