Fly Fishing Rods

Bamboo Fly Rods
- Fishing with a bamboo rod is one of the great experiences in angling. Bamboo is a proven natural material that lets us make rods with incredible touch and feel, as well as superb line and loop control.
R. L. Winston Bamboo Quadrate Rod
R. L. Winston Bamboo Quadrate Rod
For over 75 years, the name Winston has been synonymous with fine, handcrafted bamboo fly rods. As evidenced by our introduction of the new, moderately priced Pentagonal series, our commitment to this material remains unwavering. Creating bamboo rods is a cumulative process. Years of testing, design refinements, study and knowledge that has been passed down from rod builder to rod builder go into every one. Winston bamboo rods are far more than things of beauty, they are extraordinary fishing instruments.

Sage Fly Rods - Some say Sage rods are legendary for their magical properties, their propensity for placing flies just above the ripple. We don't know about magic, but we do know that every Sage rod is made by hand and we make rods for anglers of every stripe...

Sage TCR Spey

At Sage, every piece of angling equipment they make is designed, tested and hand built with one goal in mind: Maximum fishability. It's a term we came up with a few years back to describe the kind of performance that helps you cast better, fish more effectively and have more fun. In short, every Sage rod, reel and line is specifically designed to help you make the most of your precious time on the water.


G Loomis Fly Rods  - The top of the line is StreamDance GLX. They feature the finest rod components available today? luxurious cork, direct from Portugal, our proprietary GLX graphite, in high performance, 3 & 4-piece rod blanks (depending on rod length).

G. Loomis Stream Dance GLX Trout Fly Rods
 StreamDance GLX fly rods are not only beautiful to look, but a delight to cast. There are three distinct actions available: Presentation, High Line Speed and Max Line Speed.


Winston WT Trout Rod  - Most trout fishing situations involve casts of less than 60 feet, usually far shorter. And when you’re working these shorter distances, the ability to make gentle, accurate presentations is the key to success.

R. L. Winston WT Trout Rod
Many experienced anglers consider our WT rods to be the ultimate choice for such fishing. With progressive tapers, they work nicely at close distances yet can make longer casts when needed. Proven on trout waters worldwide, these medium-action rods are incredibly smooth, offer incomparable touch and feel, and the tips are soft enough to protect 6x and 7x tippets while playing large trout.


Fly Fishing Reels

Anglers who have fished the Sage 3000 Series reels rank them among the finest in the world. Built with the same commitment to craftsmanship, quality materials and innovation you've come to expect from our rods, the 3000 Series is on the cutting edge of modern reel design.

Sage 3000 Series Drag Reels
 It features a completely sealed multi-graphite disk drag system, so you never have to worry about water, dirt or sand.


G Loomis Reels - After you're gone, these reels will cause fights amongst your heirs. Until then, a top of the line water resistant drag system will put the odds decidedly in your favor when you tussle with drag testing fish. Double anodized and cold forged they're light, strong and easy on the eyes.

G. Loomis Current Reel
A quick-change push button spool and easy handle conversion makes it easy to swap lines and will keep the southpaws happy. The reel is available separately or as a combo that includes a spare spool and clam shell case. A must have addition to your  trout fishing equipment.

Abel Anti/Reverse Reels
utilize a unique ball bearing design, have fewer moving parts and weigh about 25% less than our competitors’ reels. Now machined with the same oblong ventilation holes as Super Series and Big Game models, they weigh even LESS!

Abel Anti Reverse Reel

Unlike a traditional single action fly reel, on an anti/reverse the handle does not turn when a fish runs. Each A/R reel comes with its own finger wrench for removing the spool. Yes, fish caught on an anti/reverse reel are eligible for IGFA World Records.

The new Lamson Litespeed Hard Alox™ is a true large arbor reel with the same fully-sealed drag system that is used in the Waterworks ULA. Like the ULA, the Litespeed Alox is machined in the U.S. from barstock aluminum. By utilizing a more traditional structural design and foregoing the use of titanium we are able to offer a very fine, high performance large arbor reel at a value you would expect from Lamson.

Lamson Litespeed
Lighter without sacrificing strength, the new Lightspeed Hard Alox will come in a close second to a corresponding Force reel in terms of retrieve rate and weight, and each shares our patented maintenance-free super smooth conical drag.

The first time you handle a Ross Momentum reel, you will be amazed with its meticulous machining and ergonomic design, fly fishing tackle at its best.  We have custom fit this series with a large but unobtrusive drag knob easily found for adjustment during the heat of battle, but never in the way. Additionally, the Momentum handle has been designed to fit comfortably between your fingers, but will never slip free when taking on a monster fish. A great asset to your fishing tackle equipment.

Ross Momentum
Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and line retrieval. With 6.3 square inches of effective drag surface, and 12 pounds of dead lift weight, the Momentum series has three times the effective stopping power of every drag tested. Put simply, the Momentum is the strongest fly fishing reel on the market today; and it costs considerably less than many competitive brands.
Rio Dredger 24ft DC VersiTip Fly Line   A triple-redundancy drag system ensures dependability under the most demanding fishing conditions, and by adding in features like a titanium drag components, a quick-release locking spool and water shedding grooves on the palming rim, you have the ultimate big game fly fishing reel. With a wide range of sizes available, the Momentum series is appropriate for any fishing application, including Spey.

Fly Fishing Lines -  Evolved from the WindCutter fly line design, the VersiTip has the RIO non-hinging welded loop design and five interchangeable tips. The smooth, slim welded loops will not foul the guides. Unlike other sink tips, this line is designed with a thick belly to turn over dense sinking tips. Attach either the Clouser taper floating tip or one of the four sinking tips directly to the body.

Packaged with the floating tip, plus a 15 ft water-clear AquaLux Intermediate tip (1.5 ips 3.8 cm/s), Type 3 DC (3 - 4 ips 8.9 cm/s), Type 6 DC (6 - 7 ips 17 cm/s) and a Type 8 DC (8 - 9 ips 20.3 cm/s) sinking tips (sizes #8 - #10 only). It is the fly line favored by Alaskan guides for all species and by steelhead fly fishers. With the VersiTip the fly fisher is always prepared to meet any flyfishing equipment conditions encountered. Made with a memory-free coldwater coating and core.
