Description
A versatile fit for backpackers, stream fishermen, and beginners, the 4wt Craig is our lightest fly rod—offering accuracy, feel, and line control without sacrificing durability. Coax those spring creek brookies out of their holes or wrangle grayling from crystal-blue backcountry lakes; we love packing this rod into all the hard-to-reach places.
We pride ourselves in creating fly rods that look, feel, and perform like custom rods. Rich brown hues and golden highlights give the Craig a classic, old-time aesthetic—enhanced by durable features like a AAA+ quality cork grip, CNC-machined aluminum reel seat, and high-end epoxy finish.
All of our fly rods come with a rod sock and rod/reel combo case.

Craig Fly Rod
It’d be great if we could talk Mother Nature into blue skies and windless days every time we wanted to hit the river. Unfortunately for us, she rarely cooperates. Whether it’s rainclouds over a high mountain lake or blistering heat in the open plains, we’ve all had to brave the elements for the love of fly fishing—and our rods are no different. The Craig fly rod, like all Montana Casting Co. rods, was designed with harsh conditions in mind.
Dearborn Fly Rod
We put performance first in all our fly fishing gear—that’s why the Dearborn fly rod combines a high-octane fast action and, woven carbon composition to help you achieve precision casting in the toughest conditions. Learn more about how we’ve applied all the Montanan grit, experience, and values at our disposal to bring you fly rods that will out-fish your expectations at every cast.
Warm Springs Fly Rod
The Warm Springs is our flagship fly fishing rod. We poured every ounce of our collective craftsmanship and fly fishing know-how into its design because we believe a fly rod is more than the sum of its parts. It’s your tool. It’s your connection to the river and every memory you make on the water.
