Rod Overview, Use, & Application
The DXF GEN2 11904 is a powerful mid‑price fly rod for heavy freshwater or light saltwater streamer, baitfish, or predator fishing scenarios. Anglers will find a solid, no-nonsense streamer and heavy fly rod, offering modern feel and accuracy with all the value Douglas provides in the GEN2 lineup. This fly rod thrives with both power presentations and fighting large fish in both fresh or light salt environments. Think of targeting pike with articulated streamers, inshore species like redfish or bonefish, in addition to larger river salmon with big patterns.
The 11904 provides crisp loading and considerable power. This makes it ideal for turning over large streamers, weighted flies, and also sinking-tips without sacrificing feel and sensitivity. As a result, it delivers a well balanced blend of responsiveness and backbone that suits anglers casting in mid-range conditions. The rod was designed with minimal tip oscillation to ensure tighter casting loops and more directional casting. This is especially valuable when controlling heavy lines and fly patterns at typical angling distances (30–60 ft).
Equipped with stainless-steel guides (dark‑neo plated), self-aligning uplock seat with Nylatron rings, AAA cork with burled wood insert, alignment dots, Cordura tube, cloth sock, and a limited lifetime warranty, the DXF GEN2 11904 is no slouch. The medium-fast, multi-modulus graphite blank has a B handle (full wells) to offer ideal control and leverage when casting heavy flies. Also, didd we mention the limited lifetime warranty? Last, you simply won’t find a more capable and well-rounded rod in this category.
