Coming in a range from 3wt to 9wt, with a variety of lengths from 8'6" to 10'0", there's sure to be a model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler.


390-4 is the tool of choice for delicate presentations of small flies to average-sized trout on light tippets. The length gives good casting distance and line control.


490-4 offers great line control without compromising accuracy. Best for dry flies and smaller nymphs.


590-4 handles trout flies of nearly any size, lines of varying densities and does so with superb feel, accuracy, and line control.


690-4 is a very powerful trout rod, able to cast large, heavy and wind-resistant flies long distances or into heavy winds. Great for big river trout fishing and smallmouth bass.


790-4 is equally at home fishing streamers from a drift boat, bass fishing, or fishing for trophy trout and salmon in Alaska.


890-4 is able to effectively present flies and handle the fight with Alaska trout and salmon, striped bass, largemouth bass or other similarly-sized species.
