Quick take
A powerful 5-weight fly rod 9 feet long with fast action, designed to cast heavy lines and large flies for pike and musky.
The Redington Predator 590-4 is a 9-foot, 5-weight fly rod that breaks down into four pieces and ships in a rod tube. It has a fast action aimed at casting heavier lines and larger flies for fish like pike and muskie. An anodized aluminum reel seat and ceramic-insert stripping guides round out the build, making it a fit for anglers moving up to bigger fly targets.
