Overview

Saltwater models are matte blue with light blue accents. Black anodized aluminum reel seat. Nylon rod tube with cloth sack. Backed by our 25-Year Guarantee.

Recon rods set a new standard for durability in their class, redesigned to be over 20% stronger. Made entirely in our Vermont rod shop, they deliver high performance at a remarkable value.

Drawing on some of the taper philosophy developed for Helios, Recon rods use a different material package to boost durability, specifically in the tip sections, making them an ideal choice for the versatile angler who needs one rod to cover a wide range of fishing scenarios. These exceptionally durable rods are a reliable choice for backcountry use or extensive travel.

The new Recon® rods deliver everything a serious fly fisher needs in a mid-priced rod, with no compromises on durability. All made in our Vermont rod shop, they incorporate elements of the taper design philosophy found in Helios™ for exceptional performance, while using a different carbon fiber and resin package to keep them accessible in price.

TOP FEATURES & BENEFITS

TOP FEATURES & BENEFITS

Recon® packs high-end performance into a rod made to be thrown in the back of a truck, strapped to a pack, or stowed in a floatplane pontoon. Using construction techniques inspired by our Helios™ series, we developed an incredibly durable rod series that delivers increased hoop strength for enhanced lifting power, pinpoint tracking for long casts, and smooth loading in close.

Recon is built to adapt—whether you’re tucking baitfish patterns up under mangroves or picking pockets in headwater creeks. No unnecessary flair, just relentless go-anywhere versatility, crafted in the USA by anglers who measure success by stories, not likes. Available in 13 new freshwater and 6 saltwater models.
