Hayes Super Drogue

HAYES Super Drogue - $155 plus post (usually $15 within Aust)

As used in the 2008 New Zealand World Fly Fishing Championships. 

Custom designed  by Peter Hayes:

My design is not the usual conical single rope drogue. This rectangular sheet drogue was designed and rigorously tested over 4 seasons of guiding way back in 1994. 

I am proud to say that my design of drogue has now become the accepted and standard drogue used by the vast majority of fly fishers.

It is often copied but rarely equalled in either performance or quality. 

It was great Kudos to for my drogues to be selected as the best drogue to use for the 2008 World Fly Fishing Championships. 

Naturally there is a lot at stake in a competition at this level and we were delighted when the organising body chose our drogue to be the best available for the competition.

The benefits of this style of drogue are many:

* Much better at slowing down the boat drift because of the large surface area.
* Permanently attached to bow and stern (it comes alongside when motoring forward or in reverse, so during a days fishing you rarely need to pull it in)
* By shortening or lengthening either rope it is possible to ’steer’ the boat on the down wind drift.

*Welded PVC construction

*Drogue proportions ideally suit fly fishing boats between 3 and 5 meters.

* The use of a good drogue is just as applicable to lure and soft plastic anglers.

* Unlike competitors copies with more rigid poles, chains and full length floats this drogue is fully foldable/packable so that you can easily store it out of the way in a locker.

Cost (excluding postage): $145 inclusive of float kit
