pike - Ahrex Hooks

SUMMER

With only about two months delay, summer has finally arrived (some would say struck) here in Denmark and while that might not be good for most of the fishing, it “is” good for some of it.

We’re proud of our Scandinavian roots, so hooks for Scandinavian saltwater were the first we released. Pike on the fly also has a long tradition in Scandinavia, and I know he’s not going to like this, but it has to be said – Morten was one of the pioneers over 30 years ago and has … Continue reading “Esox Only – Christian Drost”

Choosing the right hook

We are a relatively young hook brand. Ever since Ahrex was just an idea, one of our most important goals were to build a selection of hooks to allow you, the user, to choose the right hook for your particular fishing, from our selection. We’re not done designing hooks – we’re still getting ideas and … Continue reading “Choosing the right hook”

Spring

April 1st is just around the corner, and that means spring. After a winter with more rain than ever recorded before in Denmark, it’s been really strange that within a few days, we went from rain-rain-rain-endless-rain to clear skies (and frosty nights). None the less, even though fishing has been good all winter (pike and … Continue reading “Spring”

Strange Times

With the Covid-19 virus spread all around the globe, and many countries in different states of lock-down, some even under curfue, these are indeed strange times. In Denmark most workplaces are either shut down or kept running with a minimum of personnel. We are still here at Ahrex HQ – and we are well under … Continue reading “Strange Times”

Flexistripper, BLUE (clear pegs) – 150 cm

Flexistripper is a different version of a traditional strippingbasket.

It is much smaller than a standard strippingbasket and does not disturb the view as a normal basket. The flex stripper is equipped with 28 flexible “spikes” that effectively keep track of your loose-flyline but still allow the line to run freely when throwing and shooting line. It is super lightweight and extremely easy to use, and perfect for travel as it does not fill much when unpacked – if the spikes are being bend over during travel they can be heated up and straighten back or can be peeled off when unpacked.

Ideal to be used for all types of fly fishing and keeps track of the fly line without getting in the way.

Comes with a strong 150 cm / 60 inch neoprene belt that ensures good comfort during fishing.

Color: blue with clear pegs

The Story of Ahrex

It might sound a bit pretentious for a company as young as Ahrex to tell it’s story now, but we get a lot of questions on when, how, where, why and who when we’re on shows and from retailers and distributors. And prompted by J. Stockard, I decided to ask Søren and Morten some of … Continue reading “The Story of Ahrex”

It’s show time!

Last weekend we attended there British Fly Fair international, which was, as always, an excellent and very well organised event.

Introducing Angling Scotland

The blog this week is about the amazing fishing in Scotland. Two scottish anglers, Fraser McIntosh and Andrew Herkes have started a project named Angling Scotland. We have been talking to the guys behind and here is their own words about Angling Scotland.

Streamers, bucktails and Mickey Finn – part II

I don’t know how many hooks on the market can be classified as “streamer hooks”, and we often get asked why we have one in our line up when there are so many on the market. And that is of course a valid question, and the only answer is that we had to. We had … Continue reading “Streamers, bucktails and Mickey Finn – part II”
