The Casco Bay - 9'

The Casco Bay - 9'

Built for Salt. Born on the Coast.

When the coast calls, the Casco Bay answers—loudly and with a loop. Designed for big game in salty places, this moderate-action rod was built to handle the demands of coastal fly fishing without flinching.

Whether you're wet-wading tidal flats, slinging baitfish patterns from rocky ledges, or chasing blitzing schools from the bow, this rod delivers smooth power through the upper mid-section—perfect for Clousers, crab patterns, or whatever fly the fish demand.

Inspired by a lifetime spent on Maine’s rugged shoreline, the Casco Bay feels as natural as salt in the air. The matte sky-blue blank mirrors those cloudless striper mornings, while the granite wraps nod to the jagged New England coast where we first put this rod to the test—and never looked back.

This rod was made to fish hard, cast smooth, and hold its own in wind, tide, and salt. It’s the one we reach for when the ocean wakes up.

Trust it. Strip it. Set hard.

The Casco Bay brings the coast with you—wherever you cast.

What type of reel goes well with this saltwater rod?

The key to this is a sealed drag system in whichever reel you choose. Keeping the salt out of your reel's internal components is paramount to the performance and longevity of your reel.

What type of line goes well with this saltwater rod?

This one isn’t as black and white as our freshwater counterparts. With lines that are weight forward and float, to those that have an intermediate sinking ability to those that fully sink. But if we were to choose the most universal of the option and most used it would be a intermediate sink line
