Mission Fly Fishing Rods

Mission Spey & Switch Fly Fishing Rods

Mission Spey and switch fly rods are made in the USA at our Vermont rod shop. These two-handed rods are designed to deliver performance, power, and accuracy in a range of situations. For casting to steelhead and salmon on big water, and to trout in smaller rivers, we created an assortment of Mission fly rod weights and lengths that’ll turnover the biggest streamers on wide estuaries, or stealthily swing soft hackles on tailwaters. The Mission Trout Spey Rods are the lightest-weight rods in the Mission lineup. In 2-, 3- and 4-weight models, these rods are crafted to present delicate tippets to easily spooked trout, while still giving the rod enough backbone to reach the far side of the biggest pools on the river. They will turn over chunky streamers and present small wet flies without a ripple. The Mission Full and Short Spey Rods aim to combine power and distance with a lighter design so you can put in the work needed to hook into salmon, sea-run browns, or the “fish of a thousand casts.” The redesigned blanks dampen vibration, making the cast smoother and transferring your movements into the cast itself. These 6-, 7- and 8-weight rods come in 12-foot short and 13-foot full Spey lengths, giving you the versatility to target any fish that’ll take a swinging fly. The Mission Switch Fly Rods round out the collection in two-handed rods that excel in line control and power, delivering your energy straight to the rod so you can cast all day. These 11-foot 7- and 8-weight rods roll heavy indicator rigs and energize your line to push feathery streamers to the far seam. For powerful performance in a shorter length, these two-handed rods are more than capable, especially when paired with an Orvis Spey reel.
