8' 1wt 4pc ultra light fly rod (back in stock)
8' 1wt 4-piece (two tips) - Extremely light and sensitive, featuring an uplocking reel seat and classic cigar handle. Includes two tip sections--please note, this is the full extent of the warranty.
Moderate-fast action. It casts a 1wt line well, but in my opinion, really shines with a 2wt. That said, it’ll handle a 3wt just fine for short casts, roll casts, or single-hand spey on tight creeks.
This item includes a cloth rod sock and a Cordura-covered rod tube. The specific model features a cigar-shaped handle and a wooden up-locking reel seat, as shown in photos 2 through 5.
Having cast the 1-weights from Orvis, Sage, and Scott, I truly believe this rod matches them in lightness and sensitivity—Plus, at 8 feet, that extra length makes it a better all-purpose option
I only sell this one rod—because it completely redefines local fishing. Skip the long drives and expensive trips to "destination" fisheries. With a 1-weight setup, every neighborhood creek and forgotten pond transforms into an adventure. It’s affordable, pure joy to cast, and pays for itself in gas savings almost immediately.
