fly rods
Stream casting equipment
Fly rods are fishing rods designed for fly fishing, typically longer and more flexible than conventional rods.
They're engineered to cast an almost weightless artificial fly by using the weight of the line itself rather than the lure: He picked up a nine-foot fly rod for trout fishing.
Fly rods are rated by weight class to match specific line weights and target species.
