The Veteran Fly Rod and Reel Combo
Our Second Fly Rod & Reel Series is available in 2 different sizes - the 9'0" 5 wt fly rod (5/6 wt fly reel) and the 9'0" 8 wt fly rod with fighting butt (7/8 wt fly reel). Both combos include our travel rod & reel tube case.
The inspiration of the design for this rod series was to provide a high performance upgraded option and choice for our valued customers as compared to our Inaugural Fly Rod & Reel Series (The Opener):
The Veteran Fly Rod Highlights:
-
The Veteran Fly Rod is made of High Grade Graphite Carbon Fiber (Lightweight, Exceptional Sensitivity, Excellent Accuracy, and Favored by Professional Anglers)
-
The Veteran Fly Rod cork handle is AAA+ (Lightweight & Comfortable in the hand)
-
The Veteran Fly Rod's guides are PacBay Minima (which are up to 30% lighter than traditional ceramic ring guides which helps improve the action of the Fly Rod and allows for greater sensitivity)
-
The Reel Seat is CNC machine-cut with a K-Carbon Fiber Tube Insert
The Veteran Fly Rod Action: Medium-Fast (pleasant & more effortless casting plus allows for greater casting distances even in tough winds)
The Veteran Fly Reel Highlights:
- The Veteran Fly Reel is made of CNC-Machine Cut technology only -- this type of machining can achieve a very high level of precision for fly reels, which cannot be achieved with traditional die-casting. The Veteran Fly Reel is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy (T6 aluminum is used to build aircrafts) to ensure long-lasting durability (high-impact & corrosion resistance) in adverse weather conditions as well as having a large arbor for increased line capacity and accelerated pick-up rates. The Veteran Fly Reel delivers professional-grade precision.
- Smooth Immediate Drag Engagement: Cork+Teflon disc and stainless steel drag system with one-way clutch bearing.
Perfect Hatch Guidance for each size:
9ft 5wt Fly Rod with 5/6 Weight Fly Reel: The best all-around fly rod weight that is great for creeks, lakes, rivers, and streams for those targeting good sized trout as well as panfish and lighter bass.
9ft 8wt Fly Rod with the 7/8 Weight Fly Reel: Ideal for larger fish including largemouth & smallmouth bass, bigger trout (over 18 inches), carp, pike, musky, steelhead, and smaller salmon.
