This is a 6-foot, 1-weight, three-piece graphite fly rod with a cork half-wells grip and a fast action. Its short length suits small streams and tight, brushy banks, and the three sections pack down to fit a backpack. It is a fit for anglers who want a delicate presentation with dry flies on trout and panfish.
