Who Makes the Best Fly Rods?

Thursday July 9, 2009
Over the past couple years as About.com’s fly fishing guide, I’ve received a ton of e-mails from anglers asking about everything from the best places to fish to the best gear to pick up for whopper fish.

But the question I receive most often, by far, is what brand of fly rod is best?

If you want to know what the record-breakers use, those who have landed certified world-record fish, look know further than the International Game Fish Association’s World Record Game Fishes book. The numbers don’t lie, and with 75 world records, Sage Fly Rods leads the pack.

Here’s a list of the other top fly rod companies in terms of world records. You might be surprised by the results.
