4 Weight Fly Rods

In our book, a four-weight fly rod is the ultimate trout angler’s tool. Sure, you can use it to haul in the occasional smallmouth or bluegill, but these all-around rods are perfect for everything coldwater. They’re great for trout because you’re striking the perfect balance between delicacy and backbone, a blast for throwing dry flies to brookies, but powerful enough to fight a 20-inch brown trout if you’re lucky enough to hook one. In other words, if we lived the rest of our lives in alpine meadows with small creeks and rivers, we’d probably pick a four-weight.

We offer three incredible models if you’re looking for a four-weight fly rod. For starters, check out our Drifter series, a medium-fast action rod that’s a perfect introduction to the sport without having to sacrifice the quality you’ll find in those dreaded “beginner” kits. Next, our Epiphany is designed for Nymph anglers, with a bit of extra reach at 10’, to get to those hard-to-reach riffles. To us, it’s the ultimate nymphing setup. Lastly, our Vesper four-weight is a beast on the water. It’s a medium-action beauty, with some of the highest-grade materials available on any fly rod—heirloom quality and guide-level performance.
