Overview

Your freshwater weapons of choice for putting large, meaty flies in motion, Redington’s most powerful rod series ever – BIG GAME – packs the heavy-lifting performance and hammer-strength endurance needed to hang with the heavy-hitters.  

High-stoke and low-stress, the shorter BIG GAME 8-foot-3-inch lengths are perfect for pitching bass poppers, swim flies, and streamers with precision, while our core 9-footers like the 690 and 890 bring versatile velocity to your largemouth, smallmouth bass, and northern pike programs. And at the top end of the powerband, BIG GAME introduces a pair of definitively designed 11wt and 12wt Musky rods equipped with the deep loading, fast action needed for casting the heaviest sinking lines… plus flies the size of your pet cat. With a timeless look inspired by classic predatory pursuits, the BIG GAME collection is meticulously tuned and crafted for your freakishly large-fish cravings.

TARGET(S) ACQUIRED

Designed around warmwater pursuits like largemouth, smallmouth and northern pike, BIG GAME rods are equally cozy in the West throwing articulated streamers to predatory trout. Nine-foot core lengths are offered in 6wt through 10wt. Musky sizes (1190-4 and 1290-4) are tuned for sinking lines up to 700 grains, plus flies the size of your pet cat. Their figure-8-style composite cork handles withstand high-torque forces from twisting the rod through the water, so you can flex more muscle above the gunwales.

KNOW YOUR NANO

Say hello to Nano Resin Technology, our most advanced graphite and resin matrix — lighter, stronger, more responsive. But don’t let the technospeak lull you to sleep: Better ingredients only matter if you know what to do with them. That's where in-house rod designs rise to the top. In our Bainbridge Island engineering room, rod developer Brandon Morton uses Nano Resin to dial in flagship actions that ooze utility for how you actually fish. Light enough to feel every subtle take. Lively enough to load with precision. Responsive enough to control fish through the fight. The materials are next-level, but the secret sauce is the obsessive attention to actions that turn function into fun.
