7'6" • 5wt • 2pc • Bamboo Fly Rod
Garrison 209 Taper
Bamboo. Trout water. No excuses.
There’s only one way to understand why anglers have been drawn to bamboo for generations: put one in your hand and take it to the river.
This rod is produced in a professional manufacturing facility, allowing us to offer the unmistakable character and feel of a bamboo fly rod at a price considerably lower than even our Field Series. While it doesn't carry the hand-built construction of our Field or Master Series rods, it is still a well-made, dependable bamboo fly rod designed to be fished and enjoyed.
Our 7'6" 5-weight River Rod makes that easier than ever.
Think of it as your invitation to discover bamboo.
At 7'6" and 5-weight, the River Rod is perfectly at home chasing trout on mountain streams, small rivers, and the cold water of the high country. It has the smooth, relaxed character that makes bamboo so much fun to fish, without requiring a major investment to find out if bamboo is for you.
We offer free cold laser engraving of your name, as well as the rod's size and weight, on all of our rods.
JUST GET IT ON THE WATER
You don't need to be a bamboo collector.
You don't need to know the history of cane rods.
You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to see what all the fuss is about.
You just need a river.
Throw the River Rod in the truck. Strap it to your pack. Hike into the mountains, find a piece of water, and start casting.
Maybe you'll discover that bamboo isn't for you.
Or maybe you'll never want to fish anything else.
Either way, you're going to have a great day on the water.
WHY THE RIVER ROD?
Our Master Series represents the full art of traditional bamboo rodmaking. Our Field Series brings hand-finished bamboo craftsmanship to a broader group of anglers. The River Rod takes that idea one step further: a quality factory-made bamboo rod at an exceptionally approachable price.
It's the perfect way to:
Experience the feel of bamboo without a significant investment
Have a dedicated bamboo rod for your everyday fishing
Introduce a friend to the world of cane
Keep a bamboo rod in the truck for spontaneous fishing adventures
Discover whether bamboo belongs in your fly-fishing life
No pretense. No intimidation. Just bamboo and a river.
BUILT FOR THE WAY WE FISH
At Rivercraft Rodsmiths, we're fortunate to call Utah home—a place where you can leave the pavement behind and be standing in a cold trout stream before the day is over.
The River Rod was made for those days.
7'6". 5-weight. Bamboo.
Get it wet, bend it on a trout, and decide for yourself.
