The New Primal REVEL CS Fly Rod
The new Primal REVEL CS has been launched in Australia and New Zealand and it’s a rod that will turn a lot of heads, human and fish alike. CS stands for carbon scrim, and like the big daddy CCC versions, this technology brings about a whole new casting experience for the user.
The trend in fly fishing these days is to get lighter rods with a crisper feel and the new REVEL CS has exceptionally fast recovery and is extremely lightweight in the hand.
The carbon scrim technology gives the angler more sensitivity to feel every take. The Carbon Scrim makes this an incredibly strong rod – incredibly strong. Couple this with its unground blank you’ve got a rod that feels super light in your hand but will punch line out even in the windiest conditions.

I’ve used the Primal REVEL CS for several weeks now and it’s been a game changer. The feel is incredibly responsive and the rod casts smoothly even in strong winds. The sensitivity helps me detect even the smallest fish takes. Lightweight and durable, it’s perfect for both still waters and moving streams.

After switching from my old rod, I can finally cast with confidence. The carbon scrim gives a crisp, immediate feedback. It’s not just light—it feels like it’s reacting to every movement. Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

The rod performs well in windy conditions, and the recovery is faster than expected. A bit more expensive than entry-level rods, but the quality and feel justify the price. Would recommend to anyone serious about fly fishing.
