Although Elbe produce some flyrods, they are more into conventional and deep searods. I have a few Elbe trolling rods and they are strong and heavy. My Elbe surf rods are really cheap and nasty, with very little to turn you on if you are looking for anything of remote quality. The threads are untudy, the reel seat is mis aligned and the guides are rusting, even after being cleaded from every outing. They do however do the job well enough, and have not suffered any damge, even after prolonged abuse. I look for a little more out of fly rods however, so won't look at Elbe fly rods. I think their flyrod range might be a bit of an after thought, being a company that is more focussed on other types of fishing rods.
