IMPERIAL FLY ROD

Hang around fly fishing circles long enough and chances are a large majority of anglers you’ll meet started with, and still have an Imperial rod in their arsenal. That’s in part because no other rod in the history of our sport has had the chops to be on its eighth generation -spanning over sixty years of fly rod manufacturing. Tried and true, the Imperial series of all water rods delivers more than powerful, multi-purpose actions; this iconic series represents a union of tradition and technology, which has kept it at the intersect of American-made craftsmanship, performance, and value over all these years.
