The Journey beginner series fly rod is the only fly rod designed for beginner anglers. The rod is a 4wt. design so it can be fished on most types of water, but the length is only 7"6" so it is easy for a beginner angler to control.

This 4-piece rod series helps introduce the beginner to the sport of fly fishing with the right sized equipment, and without breaking the bank. The Journey series proprietary R1 graphite design is a medium-fast action taper that is perfect for any casting style, and forgiving for those anglers just starting out. These are smooth casting rods that are sensitive, precise and effortless to cast making it easier for beginner anglers to learn the sport of fly fishing.
