Description
Designed as a “two-line” rod, a quick spool change enables you to equip this durable, fast-action rod for any number of fly fishing scenarios without sacrificing control. Rig a 5wt Dearborn with a 5wt line and you’ll get high line speeds coupled with a softer presentation, perfect for dry fly fishing. That same 5wt fly rod can be overlined with a 6wt line—transforming it into a powerful, line-launching machine capable of driving heavy nymphs and streamers through the wind.
A two-piece fly rod has fewer ferrules, meaning less interference in the transfer of energy along the length of your rod. Combined with the durability of a mixed Toray-graphite and woven carbon composition, anodized CNC-machined aluminum reel seat, and stainless-steel snake guides, this rod is a truly versatile powerhouse—our top recommendation to the intermediate or seasoned fly fisherman looking to get the most out of their fly rod in highly variable conditions.

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.
