We all have a favorite fly rod that is now out of production but remains lodged in your memory along with all the experiences shared with it. You can often hear in conversation, “remember the ***5wt, what a sweet rod! That was the best trout rod I have ever fished! Wish they still made that”. It is this experience, of fisherman, shop owners and guides, we have listened to and tried to capture in the Beulah Platinum Single Hand rods.
The challenge of designing the Platinum Single Hand series was to create rods that said WOW in every size; A 3 wt that bends to the cork with a 10” brookie, a 5 wt that will land a comparadun in a shot glass at 40’ w/ a 12’ leader, or a 7wt that…..well you get the picture.
There is usually one gem in any series that shines because the taper of that rod series suits only one wt size exceptionally and not the others. Each Platinum Series single hand rod is a unique design, with it's own taper, that performs at a high level for the specific fishing applications in mind. What we have come up with is a series of rods where every size feels like an old friend, your favorite rod from way back when only better, smoother, and lighter.
Platinum single hand rods utilize the latest technologies in fly rods, they are as light as a feather, strong and accurate. Fish a Platinum single hand rod and we think you will agree that these rods are among the best on the market at any price.
Beulah 8' 3wt. 4 Piece Platinum Series
8’0” 3 weight -4 piece 2.7 oz:
The Beulah Platinum 8’ 3 wt fly rod was designed with small mountain streams and beautiful wild trout in mind. We have tested this rod with leaders from 7 ½’ – 16’ and the turnover, as well as the pin point accuracy is incredible. The Platinum 3 wt's deeper flex pattern will allow for a short, quick rod load in tight quarters and a smooth, forgiving, cast to roll out tight loops and fine leaders.
Our Platinum 3 weight offers a nickel-silver reel seat with stabilized Maple burl wood insert, reverse half wells grip with Beulah signature inlays, high quality, a salt water safe stripping guide, and light wire chrome over stainless steel snake guides. And to top it all off, we went with 4 color windings…after all a Beulah is not a Beulah until the performance is wrapped in art!

When someone asks for one rod to do everything, the answer more often than not is a 6wt. In the case of the Beulah Platinum 9’6” 6 weight you would be correct.

Beulah 9'9" 7wt. 4 Piece Platinum Series (Add to cart at bottom of page)
The Beulah Platinum 9'9" 7 wt is extremely light and well balanced. It weighs only 4 oz., but feels much lighter. We have always felt 10 foot single hand rods have always felt unbalanced and cumbersome, as if they were designed to be 9 feet and then extended as an after thought. This rod reconciles the awkward feel found in most rods longer than 9'6". Smooth casting and exceptional tracking best describes the 9'9" 7wt. Platinum.
The action in the 9'9" walks the line between fast and medium, flexing through out the blank while recovering quickly to give it a quick yet slightly relaxed feel while casting. We wanted this rod to excel swinging and nymphing for steelhead and still be snappy enough to use for light saltwater excursions. In this corner of the world the 7wt is an important size rod and this one does everything and more expected from a seven weight.
Our Platinum 7 weight offers a Salt safe, black anodized, double locking reel seat, full wells grip w/ inlays that Beulah is known for, high quality, salt water safe stripping guides, and light wire chrome over stainless steel snake guides. Of course we went with 4 color winding. After all a Beulah is not a Beulah until the performance is wrapped in art!
USE OF ROD:
This fly rod has a multitude of uses and will be used to fish for a variety of fresh water and small salt water species that include Steelhead, light Salmon, Small and Large mouth bass, Bonefish, Redfish, Snook and Sea Trout.
