Quick take
Four-piece S-glass fly rod with burl wood accents, compact for travel yet built for casting accuracy and delicate presentations.
This is a 6-foot-8 fiberglass fly rod built for 5-weight line, with a fast action and a medium power. It breaks down into four pieces, so it packs small for travel, and the grip is a half-wells shape in cork. Anglers who like the soft, classic bend of glass on small creeks and rivers will find a familiar fit here.
Best for
- Fly fishing in small creeks and rivers
- Anglers who travel and need a compact rod

Strengths
- S-glass construction bends throughout blank for classic fly rod feel

- More weight than carbon rods of similar length
