Each two-piece Yellowstone fly rod is designed with a consistent rod taper ensuring increased strength, durability and smooth cast-ability. Using 24 ton graphite and a light glass scrim in our blanks means each Yellowstone rod feels light in hand and resists compression breaks. Anodized aluminum guides allow the fly line to glide smoothly while shooting line. The up-locking, aluminum/polymer reel seat will securely hold your fly reel. Our two freshwater Yellowstone rods have standard, cigar grips. Our 8-weight, designed for saltwater and salmon, is fitted with a fighting butt for added leverage and includes oversized guides for longer casts. At just $39 each, we dare you to find a fly rod that offers more.
