Customize your options for the perfect fly rod for your local water. The 6/7wt dual line S2 Steffen Bros Glass. A riot with big bass, trout streamers, and steelhead. Streamer, popper work, hopper+droppers, weighted nymph approved, and with the finesse to land the perfect carp fly. Featuring progressive uni S2 glass on iconic fiberglass tapers Offered in 8'0" or 8'6" length to suite to your local stream needs. The 8'6" offers a bit more reach, and slightly more backbone for nymph rigs, while the 8'0" is helpful for bushier locales, with a ever so slightly more progressive feel. Both equipped with fighting butt.
S2 Fiberglass
Proprietary uni-S2 fiberglass produced specifically for Steffen Bros. Mod-Progressive action, with tapers designed for unique power reserve. Our glass layup is naturally chestnut in color from our production process. This results in a super smooth action with lighter swing weight when compared to older fiberglass rods.
Taper
The heart of a Steffen Bros taper, is its unique layup and roll pattern. Each rod blank is hand-rolled on custom crafted forms. From light blue line stream use, to the Musky glass series, we are constantly experimenting with taper ratios to meet the needs of modern anglers! Elegant, yet fresh and exciting.
These rods have a very smooth and responsive action, excelling in any fishing condition I've come across for trout.
I went with an 8ft 6/7wt and it's one of the first rods I've used that casts either line weights equally well. From terrestrials on long leaders and 6wt lines to 240gr full sinking lines. The rod does it all
I've fished Steffen Brothers Fly Rods in a variety of situations across my home waters, and they epitomize American craftsmanship and beauty.
If I’m dry fly fishing I love to grab a 3/4wt glass rod, if I know I’ll be doing some nymph rigs I bring my 8’0” 4wt graphite Steffen, or if streamers are on the menu, I love to grab the gorgeous 9’0” 5wt graphite.
Steffen Brothers Fly Rods, IMHO, makes the finest glass rods available. They buy proprietary fiberglass cloth, of course, but then they roll their own blanks on their own in-house mandrels. They are as fine as glass rods made. I own three of them.
This Steffen is very light in hand, it's not a fast rod by any means if comparing to fast graphite rods but it isn't some heavy wet noodle at all either. It has the perfect casting range for anything you would ever want to use it for.
American Craft
We're proud to keep every component of a Steffen Brothers Fly Rod made in the USA, just like it has been for the past 43 years. From the design process, to pencil sketching, hand-rolling blanks, and hand-winding threads --- every fly rod is crafted with love and artistry.
