Classic Trout

"Great rod for the price. I am happy with it. I would recommend not comparing this to a sage because it won't feel the same. But for what it is and if you want to catch fish on a budget this will be the rod for you."

"It's awesome! I have a Cheeky reel on it and it makes for a great combination! It looks good but more importantly casts smooth, contributing in a delicate presentation for dries, but can handle a nymphing rig just as well."

The Classic Trout rod series

"The Classic Trout rod series is an incredible value. It’s easy to cast and puts the fly where it’s supposed to go. Just an outstanding little rod. I recommend this rod as an excellent beginner rod to those taking my introduction to fly fishing classes."

"I’m in Canada and have not seen the items ordered yet. Assuming all items are great. My friend who received them for me will deliver them at a later date. I travel for fishing all summer and fall making delivery’s complicated at times. Thank you for checking."

Amazed

"Bought this as a backup to my primary pack rod. First time I used it I was amazed at how well it fished. Just may end up as my primary pack rod, very impressed."

— Glenn H. (5/5)

Quickly becoming my favorite flyrods

"I bought two of these rods for clients as backups, I decided I better fish them so I had a feel for what they were, I quickly fell in love with the 8.6' 4wt so much so that I stopped using my very expensive high end rods and found myself using the classic trout as my go to rod, I ordered a 5 wt then a 6 wt and love all of them, they load beautifully and have tons of power for long casts or delicate presentations. The 9' 4wt is a dream dry fly rod, even on big water. I recommend these rods to all my friends and clients. Excellent work Redington on the Classic Trout."
