Rod Length

Bamboo Rod Length

 

Understanding your primary use for your fly rod will help to determine the length you want. Having that said there are practical limits to which a rod can be made and perform well. Generally rod lengths for single handed rods range from a short 6'0" to 9'. Most 3-4 weight rods work best in the 6'0"-7'6" range, 5-6 weight rods in the 7'6"- 9'0" range, and heavier rods from 8'0" to 9'0". Double handed bamboo rods work best in the 10'0" to 12'6" lengths.
