FAQ

What type of line goes well with the Roach River fly rod?

The Roach is for all styles of fishing and flies. With that in mind, our top pairing would be a universal tapered line. If streamer fishing speaks to you, we recommend the 7w version of this rod with our Airflo Streamer Max line for an effortless experience.

What type of reel goes well with the Roach River rod?

Any of our fresh water reels will do great here.

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.
