Main Stem Series - 5wt IM6 Classic Graphite
The 5wt gives you excellent presentation, pinpoint accuracy, and some extra stability you might need for casting larger bushy dries or weighted nymphs.
The 9’ 5wt, is the classic all-rounder, it excels with dries on medium to large rivers but has the versatility to throw a small streamer or nymph rig when you need. Super smooth and deceptively powerful a proper progressive action with fast recovery, this is a rod that can deal with bigger fish while retaining enough sensitivity to make any fish fun. A medium river all-rounder, that makes for a rather special, larger water dry fly rod.
The unique 6pc configuration means this rod can be taken anywhere, ideal for hiding away in the trunk so you can escape for some sanity on the family holiday, or perhaps tucked in the backpack while hiking, just in case you stumble across that hidden gem where memories are made.
These rods feel fast in hand but will flex deep. Super fun rods that are 4pc & 6pc to pack down to travel anywhere. This is your next do-anything utility rod fly rod.
A true to weight 5wt (140grain-160grain line), Beautiful with a triangle taper for light streamer work, or WF line for bigger bugs or nymph rigs.
Graphite
The new Steffen graphite, has taken the classic Steffen tapers and adapted them to modern IM6 graphite cloth and resin. This results in a super smooth progressive designs with lighter swing weight, more responsive feel, with a faster recovery.
Taper
The heart of the graphite series is the classic Steffen taper. It is such a joy to cast. Now, paired with the new material, it feels modern, almost timeless, classically elegant yet fresh and exciting. These new rods, and blanks set a new benchmark in the evolution of Steffen Brothers products.
Models
I will say this with 100% confidence, these rods craftsmanship and attention to detail is far superior to that of anything you can buy in most fly shops these days, simply stunning.
Your 7wt is great! I can’t believe how smooth and accurate the delivery is. What fun!
My Steffen Bros rod is my favorite trout rod now. Even replaced my expensive Winston rod. It is light, powerful and has the pleasure of grace when catching a fish. I often praise it to others and believe that Steffen Brother's brand will have a bright future
A true medium-fast action, a deep flex profile, a sensitive tip to protect light tippet, elegant presentation, and a backbone to fight larger fish all combine to make the new Steffen Bros rods a truly impressive tool
When I worked at a fly shop, I loved to bring in the rods that I built to show to my co-workers or to nail down the best fly line. Steffen Bros rods were always the favorite among the guys.
