Frequently asked questions
How is the First Cast rod different?
The First Cast is designed to make fly fishing simpler and more accessible without sacrificing performance. Unlike traditional rods, it uses our telescoping system that keeps the line threaded and ready to go—even when collapsed. That means less setup, less hassle, and more time actually fishing.
How small does it pack down to?
The rod collapses to just 17 inches (about the size of a laptop), making it easy to slip into a backpack, carry-on, or even a glove box. When extended, it’s a full-size fly rod, ready for serious fishing.
Is the First Cast only for beginners?
Not at all. While it’s perfect for someone’s first cast (hence the name), experienced anglers love it too—especially for travel, quick trips, or as a secondary rod they can always have on hand. It’s simple, but still delivers great feel and control on the water.
What’s included with the rod?
Each First Cast rod comes with the telescoping rod, a pre-rigged line system (already threaded), and a carrying case. Just add your favorite fly and you’re ready to fish within minutes.
