The FIRST CAST Travel Fly Rod is built for anglers who want to be ready anywhere, anytime. With a telescopic, internally lined design, this 6wt rod sets up in just 30 seconds—always rigged and ready so you can tie on a fly and start fishing right away.
This 8.5ft, 6wt version packs down to only 17" and is made for versatility. Whether you’re chasing trout, bass, carp, or whatever scaly creature you come across, this rod is ready to handle it. Compact and tough, it’s easy to keep in your day pack, glove box, or even your desk drawer—so you’ll never miss a chance to fish.
Each rod comes fully assembled (just add your fly) and includes a reel with swappable left/right hand retrieve. Designed from the ground up, the FIRST CAST blends tenkara-inspired simplicity with the performance of traditional fly rods—making every cast smooth, quick, and fun.
Because when the water’s calling, the first cast should be only seconds away.
