MODEL 805, 805M (medium) and 805DF (dry fly)

$1,500.00 - $2,100.00

Length: 8’
3-piece, 2-tips
Line weight: #5

Model 805 is medium fast, smooth action with the taper of  Granger rods. Very pleasant casting and can be used all day without fatigue, and it is a very good all-round rod. If you can only have one 3-piece rod, this would be a good choice.

Available in Signature.

Length: 8’
2-piece, 2-tips
Line weight: #5

I call Model 805M my Featherweight rod because it is patterned after the well-known Heddon rods carrying the same name. It loads easily and casts smoothly in close and out to 55-60’… It is a medium fast action rather than a dry fly action. With a swelled butt,  it’s a dream to cast, and can be fished all day with little effort…one of my all time favorites -  and very popular with my customers, too!

Available in Classic & Signature.

Length: 8’
4-piece, 2-tips
Line weight: #4

Special model rod.  Model 805DF is a nice dry fly rod, medium fast, patterned after the famous Leonard Model #50 with swelled butt. A great all-round action and favored by many for medium sized streams and small to medium flies.

Available in Signature.
