Our 5 piece fly rods are unique. Not the typical 4 piece rods on the market. We designed all our fly rods with travel and convenience in mind. Our 5-piece fly rods will fit in the overhead airplane compartment, in the trunk of your vehicle, or behind the seat. This size rod allows you to never be without your Santiam Fly Rod, making you ready to fish when any opportunity arises. Our 5-piece fly rods are constructed with quality graphite blanks. Finished in a classic gloss blue finish, AA grade cord handles, oversized stripping guides, anti- corrosive guides and hook keeper. Packed in a soft cloth and clear protective tube.
