Why EDC

Everyday Carry

Our top of the line multi-application fly rod, EDC prioritizes versatility above all else, ensuring it’s not just a tool, but an extension of you and your angling skills.

  • Function Junction

    EDC rods offer the highest level of all-around performance without breaking the bank, with a selection of rod sizes each designed with a specific function in mind — though still capable for multiple applications and changes in conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner aiming to master the fundamentals, the EDC delivers the sharpness you need to succeed on the water.

  • Measurable Success

    EDC rods include measurement marks, making for a quick check while keeping fish wet. For location changes on the river a hidden hook keeper is machined into the reel seat (also keeping you from getting stabbed). Finally, we kept the rod and guides a neutral color scheme so as to not spook fish on bright days, and to better blend in both high desert or forested backgrounds.

Reviews

I'm loving the EDC 590-4!

"This rod is great for switching between heavier nymph rigs to single dry fly setups. As a guide this makes for a great client rod. Versatile and well built. The name says it all, it's an excellent every day carry!"

— Sean B. (5/5)

Arrived with defect

"Really disappointed that a nearly $400 rod would arrive with defects from production. The base piece connection point was cracked. My husband was so excited to use this rod I gifted him for his birthday prior to our trip tomorrow, but now we have to take it back. Super bummed."

— Marlayna N. (1/5)

Worth twice the price

"EDC punches well above it’s price. Accurate, light in hand and effortless to cast!"

— Chris D. (5/5)

Excellent in all respects

"Truly an all-purpose trout rod which somehow combines strength for distance casts with delicacy for 'close-in' fishing. By far the best roll-casting rod I own, even when my rig includes weight and indicator. Handles even the occasional 20-inch brown trout with aplomb. Highly recommended!"

— Mike T. (5/5)

Love the rod I have the EDC 9Ft 5Wt.

"I love the rod. It’s got great sensitivity. The fast action helps you get a lot of power behind the line and get it moving straight to where you’re aiming it. The. Redington EDC 9Ft 5Wt. can handle delicate flies, dry flies with a dropper, and also double nymph rigs with an indicator. Great all around rod for the price point."

— B. R. (5/5)

"This is my first Reddinton rod and I’m stoked on it! I usually fish Orvis Recons, which I love, but I’d say the EDC is fairly close in performance for almost $200 less. This rod loads easily and casts very smoothly. I will definetly be add more Reddinton rods to my quiver!"

— Chris D. (5/5)
