Rajeff Sports

We recently changed site hosts and are in the process of getting everything back up and running.  The Blog has been offline during this change, but should be completely back up by the end of the week.  Thanks to everyone for you patience.

Stroft is a well known monofilament line across the big pond. Over there, the name has become synonymous with the pedantic precision normally associated with brain surgeons and fricken’ laser engineers. When I first looked at their product spec sheets, I could understand why. Mono down to 9x? Yeah they do that—it’s right there after 8x and 8.5x.

Looking through their product literature, they use phrases like “diffusion of silicon and PTFE molecules”, “hygroscopicity”, and “multi-leveled tempering process.” We don’t know what that means, and quite frankly, we don’t care. It’s the best line we’ve ever used, period. Their GTM mono is rated the #1 best overall fishing line by the TÜV in Munich, and that’s a sentiment being echoed by anglers across the globe. Of course, Tim wasn’t content to just take everyone’s word on it; we’ve been testing a myriad of Stroft mono spools against domestic competition for several months. Stroft’s tensile breaking strength and diameters are always spot on, and their knot break strength is unmatched. In short, these guys rock, and it’s our pleasure to announce that we are now the exclusive distributor for Stroft in the US.

Product details and pricing are now available on our main site. For more information, ask your local tackle dealer or give us a call here at 1-360-694-2900.

After over eight years of shipping out of Tim’s garage, Rajeff Sports is finally moving into a larger location.

We’ll miss the good times–carping at lunch, barbecuing squirrels in the backyard, and playing MPR tag in the parking lot on our breaks.   Unfortunately, we’ve grown too big for our available space, so it’s off to a real warehouse a few miles away .  The good news is the consolidation of space will allow us to continue providing quality service to our customers.

We’ll be making the move Friday, December 18th, so our phones will be down all day.  We apologize for the interruption of service–we’ll be back up and running on Monday at our new location and can be reached at our regular numbers then.  Our new address is:

Rajeff Sports LLC
7500 NE 16th Ave Suite 1C
Vancouver, WA 98665

Coming Soon…

The Sandy River Spey Clave is an event the Rajeff Sports team looks forward to every year.  Food, fun, and all things spey can be had at this great gathering put on by the Fly Shop in Welches, OR.  Head on down to Oxbow Park this weekend to check out our new TR spey rods, Switch rods, or just come on by the booth to say hi.  We’ll have rods on hand for you to demo as well as Skagit and Scandi Compacts set up to try.   Don’t forget to bring some flies; there’s plenty of great steelhead water around the park.

On another note, our good friend Michael Davidchik sent us this great teaser of the summer to come:

Rajeff Sports is proud to announce that they are the exclusive US distributors for Vosseler Reels.

The German made Vosseler fly fishing reels have had a long reputation of superior quality. That reputation, as well as their affordable price points are what initially motivated Tim Rajeff to seek out a distribution agreement with Ralf Vosseler. Ralf is the innovative owner and designer of Vosseler’s award winning reels and tying vise. After meeting and working with Ralf, we are all looking forward to spreading the word about Vosseler’s incredible products.

For more information on Vosseler Reels check out the Vosseler website at www.pro-flyfishing.com, or contact us.
