The Carrabassett - 8'

An 8’ rod with plenty of backbone for all things fly fishing. This one has laser precision, dropping dries on a dime and a faster action profile. Our lightest fly rod to date with a starting weight of 2.6oz. The composition and unique design of this rod allows for clearing a spool with ease surprising anglers and fish alike. To say this one has been a crowd pleaser since its inception is an understatement!

FAQ

What type of line goes well with the Carrabassett Fly Rod?

For an all-around set up we love the Airflo Universal Ridge 2.0. If you’re looking for the ultimate dry fly set up, we recommend Airflo’s Tactical taper due to its astounding presentation.

What type of reel goes well with the Carrabassett rod?

Keeping this guy light and versatile is the key. We love a 4/5 animas in silver for this with a spare spool. One with a universal taper, another with a presentation line for when you stumble on a dry fly hatch.

What does this rod come with?

All our small batch graphite/carbon fiber rods come in a canvas rod sock. There are 2 rod tube options available at checkout to help protect your investment.

Will you fix my rod if it breaks?

Of course! It’s one of the greatest things that makes us different. We build every one of our rods in our shop here, so naturally we can fix any of them too. Let’s face it, as heartbreaking as it can be, fly rods break. We offer repair for any of our rods and prioritize those orders to ensure that we get you back out there asap. Rod section prices vary, so just give us a call should anything go wrong out there, and we’ll help make you whole again.

Can I get an extra tip for this rod?

Yes. We now offer the option to purchase a spare tip when purchasing a new Maine Fly Co rod for that piece of mind.
