Tactical Long
The Tactical Long rods are 9’4” fast-action, all-purpose fly rods, built for both light saltwater and heavy freshwater applications. Available in sizes ranging from 6wt up to 10wt, these rods offer a smooth, responsive action that easily adapts to various line configurations and effortless casting experiences with floating, intermediate, and sinking lines.
The extended 9’4” length provides extra casting distance with less effort—whether you're fishing from a boat, wading from the shore, standing on a breakwall, or casting from a personal, low-profile watercraft—all while maintaining precision and control.
Designed to pair seamlessly with the most popular fly options for each line weight, these rods feature large stripping guides and oversized snake guides, which help to haul and shoot intermediate and sinking lines. A Full Wells premium cork grip with enhanced with rubberized composite trim edges provides durability and comfort. A polished silver anodized dual-locking aluminum reel seat offers saltwater-ready construction for a secure fit. A Cork fighting butt with black foam trim bottom edge provides extra leverage during intense battles. Striking ocean blue wraps with silver trim offer a sleek, refined finish.
With many common sinking line options sized in grain weights, it is important to build rods that have a clear grain window in addition to a line weight rating. Tactical Long rods are designed to fit into a line weight class but also rated with their best grain weight match.
Whether you're targeting powerful saltwater species or aggressive freshwater predators, the Tactical Long rods deliver the versatility, distance, and strength to master any fishing environment.
