Fly Rod Length Explained | Choose The Best Fly Rod (Part 3/5)

[@michaeldye6505]

I only needed to watch the first minute of the video and it was clear I just need I 9 foot rod. Thank you for being to the point with that..

[@jakefinn7905]

Great Video. Generally speaking, whether your building a computer or buying a fly rod. Build it or buy it around your needs. Ask yourself what are you mostly going to be using it for. There is no one rod for all seasons. There will always be a compromise or trade off. If you still cant decide talk to your the local fishing guides.

I just picked up an 11’ 4wt for fishing larger waters for spooky trout, like steelhead and nz/tailwater browns.

This is an excellent video and the entire series is extremely informative. I was watching this video when an email came with your sale of the Korker BOA River Ops boot. I’ve been looking at these for quite awhile as I have the lace up River Ops and my Guide recommended the BOA. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the great work. I’ll be ordering more of my fly fishing needs from Trident.

Good to hear. Thanks for the support!

A con you forgot (unless I missed it) is reaching the tip of the rod to fix tangles or clearing ice buildup. I'm short 5'8" so max rod size for reaching the tip without dipping the reel in the water is 8'

I made a custom 5’5” 5 wt that I used for small overgrown streams! Was perfect for getting accurate casts

[@wingman8447]

Good video. I guess that’s why you should try before you buy for our specific needs or style. Thanks

Hi there! I'm having a hard time finding specifics about the best length for a female newbie. I am 5'6 Any info would be greatly appreciated!

[@dm9103]

forgive, I'm new, what is r&d?

[@freddyphillips1810]

Research and development

[@M.BRynth]

I need a 18 foot or a 15 foot fast action for high current big river but i cant find in our country

[@russyates482]

Are 9’6” rods a good choice for wade fishing, I wade all the time never fish from a boat? Thanks for any help

[@Tridentflyfishing]

Longer rods can be a great choice for wade fishing if you need to make longer casts.

[@Bradyleemillerjr.]

what about 7 foot rods for lake fishing?

[@tylorrock6883]

So i am looking to purchase the new sage r8 and i am not sure if I want the 10’ 4wt or the 10’ 5wt I mainly thrown a double nymph rig with an indicator most of the time with occasional dry flies here and ther which rod do you think would work better for what I do

[@Tridentflyfishing]

If you plan on throwing stonefly nymphs and heavy split shots under a big plastic indicator, I would go with the 5wt. Plus, it's a better choice for streamers. The 4wt for smaller flies, lighter tippet, yarn indicators, and more technical fishing situations.

[@wildsau1965]

just ordered a six foot six inch 2w becuase of the challange

[@cesarorozco890]

I have a phuger 3 piece rod don’t remember the length is it good or not respond soon please thanks

[@williamemmons8816]

To give an answer more information would be necessary. Weight , length, rod material and primary type of fish and water type. You can fish with any fly rod , what best suits you depends on your needs.

the constant pause in speech is rather irritating.
