Small enough to vanish in your pack. Tough enough to earn its name.
Meet The Tumbledown — our ultra-packable, go-anywhere fly rod built for hikers, summit junkies, and off-trail explorers who know that the best water is rarely roadside.
Designed to slide easily into your day pack, sling, or carry-on, this 3.6oz backcountry essential frees up your hands so you can climb, bushwhack, or just reach that alpine pond you’ve been eyeing on the topo map. Moderate action keeps things smooth and versatile — ideal for dries, nymphs, and anything else you decide to throw when you stumble across trout in unexpected places.
Named not for a river, but for Maine’s most-hiked peak — and the trout-filled pond at its summit — the Tumbledown is made to travel. Its colors pay tribute to the granite underfoot and the wild Rhodora blooming trailside in May and June. An aluminum seat with a carbon fiber insert keeps things light, durable, and ready for rough terrain.
This isn’t just a rod. It’s your permission slip to pack light, hike far, and fish wherever the trail leads.
