Best-Selling Fly Rods and Reels
- 5/6 Weight 9-Foot Fly Rod – The most versatile rod in our lineup. A 5/6 weight handles everything from 12-inch trout to 3-pound bass, making it the natural starting point for anyone who fishes multiple species. The 9-foot length loads easily at short distances and reaches across wider runs when conditions demand it. If you're buying one rod to do it all, start here.
- 3/4 Weight 7-Foot Fly Rod – Built for small streams, panfish, and younger anglers learning their first cast. The shorter length maneuvers through tight brush, and the lighter weight lets you feel every strike from bluegill and brook trout. A customer favorite for family trips where kids are picking up the sport.
- 7/8 Weight 9-Foot Fly Rod – Step up to this rod when you're throwing larger streamers or chasing bass and pike. The extra backbone handles wind, heavy flies, and hard-fighting fish without feeling like you're muscling the cast.
- 5 Weight 9-Foot 7-Piece Travel Rod – Packs down to a 21.5-inch case for airline carry-on or backpacking trips. Same casting performance as our 4-piece rods, just more portable. We recommend this rod for anyone who travels frequently or hikes into remote water.
- A-Series 5/6 Weight Die Cast Reel – Our entry-level reel pairs perfectly with the 5/6 weight rod. The quick-release spool makes fly line changes simple, and the price point leaves room in your budget for flies and leaders.
- Fortis CNC 5/6 Weight Reel – Machined from a single aluminum bar for precision craftsmanship that lasts for years. This is the reel our team reaches for when fishing conditions get demanding.
What Sets Wild Water Rods and Reels Apart
Most fly fishing gear forces you to choose between quality and affordability. We built Wild Water to give you both.
Our rods use IM8 graphite blanks (a mid-range graphite material rated around 45 million modulus for stiffness and sensitivity) with medium-fast action. In practical terms, that means the rod loads quickly at typical casting distances of 25 to 40 feet where most fish are caught. As your skills develop, you'll have the backbone to reach further when the situation calls for it. Cork handles stay comfortable and secure even when wet, so you can fish all day without hand fatigue.
Every reel features a disc drag system that applies steady pressure throughout the fight. Both our A-Series die cast and Fortis CNC reels convert easily from left-hand to right-hand retrieve. Set them up however feels natural.
