Best Fly Rod Models to Accommodate Beginners

The Best Fly Rods for Beginners

Looking for the best beginner fly fishing rod? High-performance doesn’t mean “experts only”—in fact, we’d argue it means you’ll be starting with a fly rod that can match you cast for cast as you hone your skills. Our top picks for a “beginner” Montana Casting Co. rod are the Craig and Warm Springs. Balancing feel and power, either of these rods will handle the “heavy-lifting” for you so you can focus on your technique. As you learn more about fly fishing, you’ll find these rods also offer the finesse you need to do some truly technical fishing. We can’t wait to see you on the river!
