A travel-friendly, five-piece fly rod with the performance characteristics of a one-piece, now that’s something to get excited about! Fortunately for fly-fishing artists on every continent, leading manufacturers continue to introduce innovative products designed specifically with the traveling angler in mind. Take St. Croix for example. The respected brand recently unveiled the Legend Ultra series, a new spey rod category that’s sure to be an instant hit on waters everywhere. With lengths ranging to 15 ft. in a moderate fast-action, the Legend Ultra Spey is ideal for modern-day trout and salmon fans. The classic characteristics of a spey rod are exactly what are needed to fish successfully on many of the nation’s most productive rivers. Spey rods allow anglers to cast farther and to do it with ease. This means covering more water with remarkable control - all while avoiding brushy shorelines, protruding cliffs and other obstacles. This new generation of fly rods is fast, smooth and strong, Better yet, they offer global travelers outstanding performance in a multitude of four and five-piece designs.
To refresh your memory, spey rods were originally designed to eliminate hundreds of false casts which made fly-fishing less tiring, a big improvement when you consider original 15 foot bamboo fly rods weighed more than two pounds. The same principles apply today with some noteworthy exceptions. Rather than bamboo, slim-profile ferrules constructed of graphite result in ultra-lightweight, ultra-smooth product from butt to tip. The next time you head up to fish side by side with the bears, bring the right weapon to the war.
