FFI Partners with Ross Reels and Airlite Rods to Grow the Fly Fishing Community Through Education

FFI Airlite Vitesse Mentor

Built for the cast that teaches everything. The Airlite Vitesse Mentor Fly Fishers International rod was built with one purpose: making great casters. Developed in partnership with FFI and shaped by casting professionals with over 50 years of collective experience, the Mentor pairs the precision of the proven Vitesse fast-action taper with a  white rod blank — the preferred choice of casting instructors worldwide. White blanks make rod tip path, tracking, and loop formation instantly visible to students, turning every cast into a real-time teaching moment whether you’re on the grass or the water. Lightweight, responsive, and forgiving, the Vitesse Mentor gives instructors the feedback tool they need and students the foundations that last a lifetime.
