5wt 9'0" 7pc Proof IM6 #01-23
My first rod of 2023 is a seven-piece travel rod. I wanted to build a rod that you could tuck under you truck seat, strap to you backpack, and just keep handy whenever you wanted to fish. The five-weight rod has long been considered the standard issue rifle of the fly fishing world. This rod will easily accompany you on your long hikes, alpine backpacking trip, or during a quick pond hop during your lunch break.
Packs down into a 17” aluminum rod tube.
Finished with green and gray silk to complete a natural, understated look.
Blank: Neutral Graphite Proof IM6
Reel Seat: Uplocking Nickel Struble
Insert: Vera from Struble
Handle: 7” Flor Grade Western Grip
Stripping Guide: Low-profile Chrome
Guides: Single-foot chrome
