A.Jensen PHANTOM ULTRA FAST

NEW - ARRIVES IN STOCK IN SPRING 2026

The Phantom Ultra Fast rods is our new top model, build to meet the standards and needs (and maybe even beyond) of the modern saltwater fisherman.

Build on the knowledge from the Phantom rods, but tailormade for saltwater fishing and comes from # 6 to regular power sticks in # 12 and even # 14 for those big fast swimming offshore monsters and Halibuts of the cold north!

The 12 and 14 weight features our unique and adjustable foam fight handle. You can remove it when fishing. When a fish is on, and you need the fighting handle, you just push it onto the blank, and slide it to where it fits you best. As soon as you grip it, it will stay put!

These rods are built on the base of our former Phantom model, but we have upgraded on all flanks, using the absolute best fittings and raw material on the market with absolutely “0” shortcuts. The blank is made of mega high density, unidirectional 45 + 50 ton Graphene Nano Carbon, and we have used SBD and AHT Technology to develop this super light power house.

The action is unbelievable crisp, fast and powerful but still with that great sensitivity we build in all our rods.

To be fully honest; we must admit, that this model is one that we are really proud of!!!

We designed the rod to be matt black all over, even the guides, to avoid flare and spooking shy fish in skinny water. We have also added a layer of woven carbon to the lower part of the rod, to give extra power when needed, like when power casting or battling trophy fish…..and it looks astonishingly good to….

The blank is made with SBD (Slim Blank Design). SBD has many advantages. Blanks are very slim, so they generate less air resistance, something you can feel immediately when driving the rod through the air. As we use the same amount of material, as in a normal blank, the walls are thicker, hence the rod is stronger, and prevent “ovalization” much better, which in turn gives a more crisp and controlled action and maximum dampening of the rod tip. These features are an advantage in many situations, if not all, but maybe especially when tossing flies in the harsh and often windy saltwater environment.

We have used AHT in the blank. By our terms a fly rod is not just a casting tool, it should also be a tool for fishing. By that we mean it should be a joy to fish and play fish on as well. Many modern fast action rods are really just casting tools, as they are no fun to play a fish on, due to a super stiff top action = minimum sensitivity. To avoid this, we use Advanced Helical Taper Technology (AHT). The “Advanced Helical Taper” technology means changing and opening the angle of the helical wound graphite towards the top. By using the same material, and still under the same number of tons of pressure as the rest of the blank, we get a rod, that performs with a unique balance.

The quick loading top has many benefits, maybe especially when fishing Stillwater, both lakes and salts. You will with much ease, be able to shoot the first meters of line, as the rod actually cast the line right from the first false cast. There is no “waving” the rod, to get so much line out, that the rod actually loads and casts. Your casting strokes will be more balanced, as you get a rhythm right from the start of the cast. It will simply put feel easier, which is far from the normal with ultra fast action rods!

On top of that the rod is a light, correction… SUPER light and sensitive instrument, and an absolutely joy to play a fish on. This brings us back to the where we started – We make a fishing rods, not just casting rods.
