EDC

Overview

Some of us approach a trout session like a special-ops mission. When trips are organized like high-value prisoner snatches. When stealthy area reconnaissance and river overwatch are as valuable as the cast itself. When it's a one-shot, one-eat, one-release game – your new strike package includes the limited-edition EDC TACTICAL LE rod. Built for stealth and performance, EDC TACTICAL LE brings together the power and finesse of Redington’s top-end EDC in a stealthed-out package. Its nano resin technology is the best material we’ve ever put in a fly rod, and the new black-out tactical features make it perfect for anglers preferring an "Everyday Carry" rod with a spec ops attitude.

THE UTILITY OF VERSATILITY

We developed the EDC rod series with the goal of creating the the highest level of all-around performance without breaking the bank. The Everyday Carry delivers with a selection of rod sizes each designed with a specific function in mind, though still extremely capable for multiple applications and changes in fishing conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned pro seeking to refine your technique or a beginner aiming to master the fundamentals, the EDC delivers the versatility you need to succeed on the water.

NANO RESIN GRAPHITE

The cutting-edge blank technology behind the EDC is our new premium Nano Resin. This innovative construction method provides ultimate sensitivity and responsiveness without compromising on strength. It’s multi-directional structures distribute forces seamlessly throughout the blank making for a smooth casting stroke and effortless accuracy. It’s increased fish fighting power comes from reinforced deformation resistance, meaning you can put the wood to em’ when it counts the most. Experience our highest level of performance crafted for everyday use on the water.

Measurable Success

Though the EDC was built for stripped down performance, we’ve added features for their angling utility. First, we’ve marked the rod with measurement marks so you there’s no need to fuss with an extra tool or ruler, making for a quick check while keeping the fish wet. For quick location changes on the water a hidden hook keeper is machined into the reel seat (also keeping you from getting stabbed).

Beautiful concept, but poor hook catch design

"I was so excited to get this rod until it was delivered and I saw that there was no hook catch. Maybe not an issue for some as there are other ways to secure, but a deal breaker for me."

When Tactical becomes the Everyday Style

"I was so pumped to see this limited editon release. Picked up the Tactical Edition of the 9’ 5wt EDC and it’s quickly become my go-to all-around rod. It’s got a clean, no-nonsense build and feels a bit more refined than the standard version without being overdone. On the water it’s super practical—loads easy at close range but still has enough backbone to punch out longer casts when needed. What stands out most is accuracy. Once you’re in rhythm, it just puts flies exactly where you want them. It’s not overly stiff, so you still get good feedback, which makes it nice for dries and smaller streamers. So excited to see the direction Reddington took with this rod, tactical is becoming my new everyday style."
