Explore Our Selection of Saltwater Fly Rods
Saltwater fly rods are designed to face the toughest conditions the sport has to offer. This includes casting into screaming headwinds, throwing large wind-resistant flies, and fighting some of the fastest and most powerful fish. Saltwater fly rods are generally 7-12+ weights that are designed to throw heavier, more aggressive fly line tapers to match challenging saltwater conditions. Saltwater fly rods are typically built with higher-grade components than freshwater fly rods.
Fly rods for saltwater fishing are typically made from high-grade componentsand are built with stiffer, faster actions. This makes them ideal for casting large flies and fighting powerful fish. When choosing a saltwater fly rod, anglers should consider the species of fish they are targeting and the size of flies they will be casting. For example, an 8 weight fly rod is ideal for casting shrimp and small crabs on lighter lines while sightfishing to bonefish and redfish. On the other hand, a 10 weight fly rod is a highly versatile saltwater fly rod capable of throwing a wide range of lines and flies to different species. For the die-hard flats anglers targeting fish such as tarpon and giant trevally, 11 and 12 weight rods capable of casting in high wind and fighting fish in excess of 100lbs are a must.
