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.
We curated these products to go with your EDC 690-4.
