OUR PHILOSOPHY
The goal of every Gatti engineer is to provide you
with the most responsive fly rods in the world. We
accomplish this by selecting the finest materials
available anywhere and create a fly rod that is
lighter in the hand , more powerful and yet
smoother than any fly rod you've ever had the pleasure to cast.
It's easy to create a fly rod that is powerful and
reliable if you don't consider weight as a factor. In
fact, many of the "premium" fly rods available
today are created that way. It's more difficult to
create a fly rod that is light, powerful and reliable.
Here at Gatti, we consider weight to be extremely
important to the responsive capabilities of a fly rod.
Our combination of the best materials, unique
tapers and a revolutionary process that results in
uniform wall thickness on each section of the rod
blank, results in a fly rod that is more precise and
virtually no spline to interfere with casting performance. Add the fact the Gatti fly rods are lighter
than other fly rods in their class, and you have a fly
rod that's a precision tool, pleasure to cast all day
and will never leave your arm feeling tired.
In the world, there are pretty fly rods and there are
performance fly rods. Gatti fly rods are as nice to
look at as they are to cast. Hand crafted reels seats
with exotic woods are combined with the finest
hard chrome guides to create a work of art.

The power of a fly rod lies within its ability to cast a fixed weight. This concept must
be respected. In fact, it cannot be modified, for a rod is strictly bound to the size fly
line for which it is designed. The action of a fly rod is the way in which its power is
distributed, the character of the fly rod is reflected in the way it bends while being
cast. The action of the fly rod should match the personal preference, style, and casting
ability of the fly fisherman. Fly Rods of equal weight can be slower or faster depending on the action. In order to serve the need of all fly fishermen, we produce fly rods
with three different actions.
TA Tip action fast action in a very light blank
IA Intermediate action precision in an easier casting rod
PA Progressive action fast and powerful
The FRX series is the most advanced expression of our production.
The project of these intermediate action rods represents the synthesis of the characteristics of the
FRD series. For every single section we have studied the taper according to the most suitable mat
order to get the best performances linked to the most lightness, handling, accurancy and reliabilit
blank is made through our UTS process with different materials for every single section.
This design puts us in the front of the fly rod production industry.

The FRC series of fly rods are manufactured from a special high modulus graphite used only by Gatti. This technologically advanced graphite is combined with a smooth, progressive taper to produce fly rods that present even the
smallest flies delicately, and protect the tinest leaders, without sacrificing performance, accuracy or distance. The
dark sapphire-blue blanks are finished with high quality brier-wood reel seats and single foot snake guides to produce a rod that's powerful, light, beautiful and smooth casting.
The FRC series of rods are perfect for anglers who use long leaders and delicate flies to fish small streams and
spring creeks for wary trout.

The two piece FR-TA series rods are made from the same high modulus graphite as the FR-PA series, b
the fast action tapers of the TA series achieve higher line speeds and tighter loops, than the other ro
offered by Gatti. The rods in the TA series are the best choice for a person looking for a long casting, lig
in-the-hand, fast action rod. The accuracy of these rods is superb.
Some of the rods in this series are specialized, but the majority are designed to cover a broad range
conditions and needs. If you want a fast action rod that feels light but casts with the power of a hea
weight, this is the rod for you.

In a world where everything goes so fast and changes very quickly, it is beautiful to know there are
who want to use the same rod for a lifetime and maybe present it to their children. Our bamboo ro
duced in a limited quantity (only 25-30 rods per year) and completely handcrafted using very high
materials, are created to satisfy those people's needs. The same tapers of the graphite combined with
ned butts inside make these bamboo rods unique in their performance capabilities.

We create our spinning rods using the same materials and technology we use in our fly rod production.
allows us to create spinning rods that are lighter, more responsive and more sensitive than other spin
rods on the market. These are not the rods the average fisherman would want to use. Indeed, there are
fishermen outside the professional tournament circles who would undersatnd why a spinning rod could
so much. But, our constant research and solid commitment to the best quality would not allow us to use
standard materials or offer any product that isn't absolutely the best product on the market. These rods
the best expression of technology and performance coupled with beauty and craftsmanship that money
buy. Every Gatti spinning rod is hand crafted using titanium-SIC guides, and high quality cork handle
green-blue blank. The beauty of these rods is only equaled by their performance.

At Gatti, we create out fly reels with the same performance standard, we apply to our fly rods. They must
be lightweight, offer flawless performance, and distinguish themselves as a product that is a step above the
rest of the market. Through a combination of material choices, precision engineering and careful craftmanship, we are able to offer reels that do just that. Every Gatti reel is machined from a solid block of aircraftgrade aluminium, using state-of-the-art machinery for a flawless fit. All aluminium parts are hard anodized
to a 50 micron depth and to a 62 Rockwell hardness to create a finish that is comparable to tempered steel
in hardness and abrasion resistance. Through this process, we are able to create the toughest, lightest precision anti-reverse reel available in today's market.
10
FLY REELS
rews and other components are made from stainless steel and brass, making our reels saltwater resistant.
e smooth disc drag is made from a combination of teflon and vulcolan, and is resistant to temperatures up
300 C. This superior drag allows the fisherman the opportunity to chase fish many times larger than
her reels could handle, and to do with the confidence that his or her reel will live up to the task.
hen you look at a Gatti fly reel, you may think it looks simple compared to many other reels on the
arket. In some ways this is true. It does have fewer components than many reels, but fewer components
ve fewer chances to fail. You will not find jewels or heavy attachments on the reel to add to the weight,
t you will experience jewel-like precision performance. No banners, no lights, no glowing additions, just
re, smooth, tough, flawless performance

All Gatti rods are inscribed with an Identification
number. With this number we can supply information about the warranty and replacement parts for
each rod without having the customer send the
rod back to Gatti. This will save the end user time,
money and makes repair or replacement easier.
Gatti Fly Rods carry a lifetetime warranty against all
manufacturer’s defects for the original owner. They
are unconditionally guaranteed against
breakage one time only.
The registration card “SIDE - B” MUST be sent directly to the manufacturer within thirty days of purchase to validate the warranty.
In the event of breakage, the entire product, including broken parts or pieces, along with warranty
claim certificate “SIDE - A” MUST be sent freight
pre-paid to Gatti Fly Rods.
This warranty will not cover damage caused by misuse, negligence, or normal wear after the unconditional warranty has been fulfilled.
If first claims are found to be of manufacturer’s
defect, the warranty claim certificate will be returned
with the rod.
If you have a breakage that is not covered by warranty that section can be replaced at a minimal cost.
This cost will be 60% of the current retail
list price of the broken section.
The warranty
does not cover shipping or insurance.
