Good news for fishing enthusiasts who happen to like Bentleys as the company revealed their latest option for the Bentayga.
This is the Fly Fishing option, created exclusively for the Bentley Bentayga by Mulliner, the company’s bespoke coachbuilding division.
Described as the ultimate angling accessory, the kit consists of four rods which can be stored in special Saddle leather-trimmed tubes with Linen cross-stitching under the parcel shelf, a pair of landing nets in matching leather bags, a master tackle station, a refreshment case and waterproof wader-stowage trunk.
“The Bentayga Fly Fishing car showcases the breadth and level of detail a customer can expect from Mulliner”, said Geoff Dowding, Director of Mulliner. “Fly fishing is a sport that requires a variety of equipment and clothing, so it was essential to package the rods, reels, waders, boots and fly-tying station into the car in a luxurious, accessible and elegant way – and the end result is truly extraordinary.”
The master tackle station and refreshment case sit on a sliding tray for easier access with the former featuring a Burr Walnut veneered drawer containing a fly-tying vice and tools, as well as a selection of cotton, hooks and feathers. Under this drawer are four machined-from-solid aluminum reel cases trimmed in Saddle leather (what else?) with Linen cross-stitching as well.
The refreshment case contains up to three metal flasks and a set of fine-china tableware as well as a separate food storage compartment. The set can also be removed from the luggage space and be used as additional seating.
Waders and boots can be stored in the also hand-crafted and leather-wrapped wood trunk which is waterproofed thanks to the hard-wearing neoprene lining. The whole boot floor is also waterproofed as part of the Fly Fishing option, with the rear sill getting a discreet protection cover. Finally, there is an electronic dehumidifier unit installed at place to ensure that everything in the area remains fresh and dry.
