Vision ONKII Dry Fly Taper+ Flugset – 9’0” #6

The rod’s Medium-Fast action and Korean 40-ton graphite construction provide a responsive yet forgiving feel. Paired with a floating line featuring a medium-long head and two-step front taper, the Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set supports clean overhead casts, single-hand Spey casts and delicate turnover of longer leaders on rivers, streams and stillwaters.

A Refined Dry-Fly Package for Rivers and Lakes

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set is intended for presentation-focused fly fishing where clean loops, line control and smooth leader turnover matter.

The 9ft rod length provides useful reach for mending line, controlling drifts and managing longer leaders. It remains manageable enough for normal river, stream and stillwater fishing.

The #6 line class gives the outfit more casting authority than a lighter #4 or #5 setup. This helps when handling larger dry flies, longer leaders, wind and wider stretches of water.

The rod still retains the sensitivity and progressive feel required for controlled trout and grayling fishing.

What Is Included in the Set?

The verified Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set contains four principal components:

• One Vision ONKII 9ft #6 single-hand fly rod
• One VATN #5/7 large-arbour fly reel
• One VATN Dry Fly Taper+ #6 floating fly line
• One 50m spool of 20lb VATN braided backing

The backing is available in White or Fluorescent Red.

Leader, tippet, flies, floatant, fly boxes and landing equipment are not listed as standard package contents.

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set is a retailer-assembled package rather than a single sealed Vision factory outfit.

Vision ONKII 9ft #6 Fly Rod

The rod included with the Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set is model VOI4906.

It measures 9ft, or 274cm, and is rated for a #6 fly line.

The rod uses four-piece construction, making it easier to transport and store than a one- or two-piece fly rod.

Its published weight is approximately 93g, which keeps the setup relatively light for a #6 rod.

The rod is supplied with an approximately 80cm tube length, helping protect the sections during transport.

High-Modulus Korean 40tn Graphite

The ONKII rod in the Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set uses high-modulus Korean 40-ton graphite.

This material is normally associated with lighter, more responsive blanks than lower-modulus graphite.

The rod is designed to feel sensitive in the hand while retaining enough strength and recovery speed for accurate casting.

The blank uses an unsanded finish, which avoids unnecessary cosmetic material and preserves the natural graphite appearance.

The unsanded grey finish also gives the rod a restrained, technical look.

Carbon and graphite rods should always be protected from sharp impacts. Avoid striking the blank against rocks, vehicle doors, trees or metal equipment.

Comfortable Medium-Fast Action

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set uses a Medium-Fast rod action.

This action provides a useful balance between casting speed and feel.

The rod loads easily at shorter range, helping anglers make controlled casts under banks and across smaller pools.

As more line is carried, the lower blank provides enough backbone for longer casts across broader sections of river or lake.

The action remains more forgiving than an extremely fast rod, helping developing casters feel the loading cycle.

During the fight, the progressive bend helps cushion leaders, tippets and small hooks.

AAAA Portuguese Cork and Fighting Butt

The 9ft #6 ONKII rod uses a Small Full Wells handle with a fighting butt.

The grip is made from premium AAAA Portuguese cork.

The Full Wells-style shape supports comfortable hand positioning during repeated casting and provides control when applying pressure to a fish.

The fighting butt adds support against the forearm or body when fighting stronger fish.

An uplocking reel seat holds the VATN reel securely and keeps the reel foot stable during casting.

Clean the cork with mild soap and fresh water when necessary, then allow it to dry before storage.

Lightweight Single-Leg Guides

The rod in the Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set uses single-leg guides.

This guide design helps reduce unnecessary weight along the blank.

Lower guide weight supports cleaner recovery and preserves the responsive feel of the rod.

Inspect every guide before fishing, especially after transport.

A bent frame or rough contact point can damage fly line and leader material.

Rinse the guides after fishing in silty, muddy or brackish conditions.

VATN #5/7 Large-Arbour Fly Reel

The reel supplied with the Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set is the VATN Fly Reel in size #5/7.

Its large-arbour design supports quick line retrieval and helps reduce tight line memory.

A V-shaped spool creates useful room for the fly line and backing.

The reel frame is made from cast aluminium with CNC-finished details.

The retrieve direction can be changed, allowing the reel to be configured for left- or right-hand winding.

Before fishing, confirm the retrieve direction and make sure the reel foot is firmly seated.

Sealed Graphite-Disc Drag

The VATN reel in the Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set uses a sealed graphite-disc drag system.

The drag provides smooth resistance when a trout, grayling or other salmonid takes line.

The sealed construction helps protect the drag surfaces from water, dirt and variable weather.

A large adjustment knob makes it easier to fine-tune pressure when hands are cold or wet.

Set the drag lightly before fishing and test it by pulling the line steadily.

The drag should slow the fish without placing unnecessary strain on the leader or tippet.

VATN Dry Fly Taper+ #6 Floating Line

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set includes a VATN Dry Fly Taper+ floating line in class #6.

The line uses a medium-long head designed to provide control, stability and distance.

This head shape allows the angler to carry more line in the air once the casting rhythm is established.

A two-step front taper helps the line turn over longer leaders softly and accurately.

This is especially useful when presenting dry flies to selective trout or grayling in clear water.

The line is suitable for standard overhead casts and single-hand Spey techniques.

50m of 20lb VATN Braided Backing

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set includes 50 metres of 20lb VATN braided backing.

Backing fills space beneath the fly line and provides additional capacity when a strong fish runs beyond the end of the fly line.

The retailer offers White and Fluorescent Red backing options.

Fluorescent Red provides improved visibility, while White offers a more traditional appearance.

The backing should be secured firmly to the spool and connected to the fly line using a dependable knot or loop system.

Recommended Fly-Fishing Techniques

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set supports several presentation-focused techniques.

Dry-fly fishing

The floating line and two-step taper help deliver dry flies and longer leaders with controlled turnover.

River drift fishing

The 9ft rod provides reach for mending line and managing drifts through changing currents.

Single-hand Spey casting

The line design supports roll casts and single-hand Spey techniques where trees or steep banks restrict back-casting room.

Stillwater surface fishing

The #6 setup provides useful distance and stability for fishing dry flies and emergers on lakes and reservoirs.

Light nymph fishing

The rod can handle lightly weighted nymphs, small indicators and suspended presentations.

Wet-fly fishing

The floating line is also suitable for swinging wet flies and soft hackles through river currents.

Potential Target Species

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set is designed primarily for salmonids.

Suitable target species include brown trout, rainbow trout, grayling and char.

The #6 line class also provides enough authority for larger trout and stronger fish in wider rivers or stillwaters.

The setup may handle other light freshwater species when the leader, tippet and fly size are appropriate.

It is not intended as a heavy pike, salmon or saltwater big-game outfit.

Suitable Rivers, Streams and Stillwaters

The Vision ONKII Dry Fly Set can be used on streams, medium and large rivers, lakes, reservoirs and managed trout fisheries.

The 9ft length offers a useful balance between line control and portability.

The #6 line performs especially well when moderate wind or longer casting distance makes lighter outfits less effective.

Very small overgrown streams may be easier with a shorter rod, while very large open waters may sometimes benefit from a specialised stillwater rod.

Remove dirt, algae and moisture from the blank, guides, reel, backing and fly line.

Clean the floating line with a suitable fly-line cleaner when required.

Separate the rod sections by holding them near each ferrule and twisting gently.

Allow the reel, line and backing to dry before long-term storage.
