Recon Fly Fishing Rods

Recon Mid-Price Performance Fly Rods

We make our Recon line of mid-price performance fly rods for the serious angler who spends long hours planning their next adventure. These are guide-tested rods that hold up to 150+ days on the water each year. In and out of boats and rooftop rod holders, windy days with conehead streamers, and through the thickest willows, these rods handle it all. We use the same construction techniques we developed for the Helios rods so you’ll never need to compromise on distance, power, or presentation. That’s what makes these rods so popular among anglers. If you’re in the “tools, not jewels” camp, rig up with your favorite fly reels and get to work with confidence. Recon fly rods show up in skiffs on no-name tropical flats, on rafts in drag-in-only canyons, and in packs en route to alpine lakes 20 miles from the nearest road. These are the workhorse rods of guides and dedicated anglers everywhere. They deliver power and precision in every size, no matter which fly rod you choose. If you want to blueline for brookies, go with a 7'6" 2 WT. If you’re targeting marlin offshore, there’s a Recon in a 9'12 WT. And for everything in between, there’s a Recon sized for it. This line of fly rods covers all you want to do on the water. We build each rod in our Manchester, Vermont rod shop to excel at its target purpose. And they’re covered by our 25-Year Guarantee. So if your fly rod breaks on one of your far-flung adventures or just from day-in-day-out client use, we’ll fix it or replace it—no questions asked.
