Guideline Embrace #9/10 14' Double Hand Fly Fishing Kit

Product detailed description

Guideline Embrace #9/10 14' Double Hand Fly Fishing Kit is a complete and pre-assembled powerful double-hand outfit for anglers who fish large salmon rivers, wider pools, spring water, deep wading and situations where long casts and strong line control matter. The 14' #9/10 model is the strongest double-hand kit in the Embrace range and is built for anglers who need more reach, more line weight and more authority than the lighter 12' and 13' models can provide.

This is not a randomly assembled beginner package. The rod, reel and shooting-head system have been selected to work as one functional setup: the line loads the rod correctly, the reel balances the outfit and the included backing and leader remove the need to solve the basic compatibility of the individual components. Once a suitable fly has been attached, the outfit is ready for the water.

The foundation of the kit is the Embrace 14' #9/10 double-hand rod. The longer rod gives more reach, lifts more line from the water and improves control of the swing over a long cast. This is especially useful on wide rivers, when wading deeper, fishing stronger current or working with heavier tips and larger salmon flies. The 14-foot length helps the angler cover big water with less forced effort and better control of the full line system.

The rod has a Mid Flex action with Medium Fast to Fast Recovery. The blank loads smoothly through the cast and helps the angler use the full length of the rod without overly aggressive timing. At the same time, the recovery is fast enough to keep the shooting head stable, maintain a clean loop and deliver the power needed for long casts, heavier line systems and demanding salmon fishing.

The kit includes a Guideline NOVA 810, a lightweight large-arbor fly reel with a sealed drag system and the option of left- or right-hand retrieve. The 810 size matches the powerful #9/10 double-hand rod, the shooting-head system and the 30 lb backing. The reel is not merely included to fill the package; it is an important part of the setup that supports line handling, fast retrieval and controlled fish fighting.

The outfit is supplied with a mono shooting line, Power Scandi Body and a 15' intermediate tip. This creates a proper shooting-head system for salmon fishing on larger rivers. The Power Scandi Body weighs 30 g / 463 grains and the intermediate tip weighs 8 g / 123 grains, giving a total head weight of approximately 38 g / 586 grains. This places the complete setup directly inside the rod’s recommended head-weight range of 37–40 g / 570–620 grains.

Inside the package you will find the Embrace 14' #9/10 double-hand rod, Guideline NOVA 810 fly reel, mono shooting line, Power Scandi Body 30 g / 463 grains, 15' intermediate tip 8 g / 123 grains, 30 lb backing, a tapered leader and a Cordura tube with an integrated reel compartment. The tube protects the complete outfit during transport and allows the rod, reel, shooting line, head and tip system to remain together as one organised and ready-to-use setup.

The greatest advantage of the #9/10 14' double-hand model is its ability to control big water. The longer rod helps manage long swings, maintain better contact with the fly and keep more line clear of complex currents. It is especially useful when fishing wide rivers, deep wading positions and higher water levels where a shorter rod may struggle to provide enough reach and control.

The included intermediate tip gives the kit a very useful starting point. It sinks slowly, helps the fly work just below the surface and covers many common salmon situations. When more depth or a different presentation is needed, the shooting-head system can be adapted with other suitable tips to match water level, current speed and fly size.

Compared with the 13' #8/9 double-hand kit, this 14' #9/10 model adds more reach, more head weight and more power for wide rivers, spring flows and heavier systems. The 13' #8/9 remains the more versatile all-round model for medium rivers, while the 14' #9/10 is the clear choice for anglers who focus on larger water and more demanding salmon fishing.

The Embrace series is designed to make fly fishing more accessible without reducing the technical logic of the complete setup. The modern 26/30T carbon-fibre blank offers a forgiving casting character, while the matched NOVA reel and Power Scandi shooting-head system help the angler develop a clean and repeatable spey-casting stroke. The result is a powerful complete double-hand outfit that remains approachable, but has the reach and authority needed for serious salmon fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions – Guideline Embrace #9/10 14' DH

Who is the #9/10 14' double-hand model best suited to?

It is best suited to anglers who fish large salmon rivers, wide pools, spring water, stronger current and situations where long casts, deep wading and heavier line systems are part of the fishing.

Is this kit suitable as a first double-hand salmon outfit?

Yes, if the angler actually needs a powerful outfit for larger rivers. The action is smooth and user-friendly, but the size and line weight of the rod are aimed at more demanding salmon fishing than the lighter Embrace double-hand models.

How is it different from the 13' #8/9 kit?

The 14' #9/10 gives more reach, more line control, more head weight and more power for wider rivers, higher water and heavier systems. The 13' #8/9 is lighter and more versatile for medium-sized salmon rivers.

When should I choose the 14' model instead of a shorter double-hand rod?

Choose the 14' model when you regularly fish wide rivers, need longer swings, wade deep or use heavier tips and larger flies. The extra length helps control the line and fly over a longer distance.

Which reel and line system are included?

The kit includes a Guideline NOVA 810 fly reel, mono shooting line, Power Scandi Body 30 g / 463 grains and a 15' intermediate tip weighing 8 g / 123 grains.

What is the total line-head weight?

The Power Scandi Body and intermediate tip together give a total head weight of approximately 38 g / 586 grains, which places the complete setup inside the rod’s recommended range of 37–40 g / 570–620 grains.

Can I use other tips with this setup?

Yes. The included intermediate tip is a versatile starting point, but the shooting-head system can be adapted with other compatible tips when you need more depth, a slower swing or a different presentation.

Is the kit ready to fish?

Yes. The reel is supplied with backing, shooting line and head system, and the package includes a tapered leader, intermediate tip and protective transport tube. You only need to add the final leader section and a suitable salmon fly.
