1. Echo Base
The Echo Base is a great beginner to intermediate 8 weight. Its action is absolutely perfect if you find fast action rods aren’t working for you.
2. Temple Fork Outfitters BVK
The Temple Fork Outfitters BVK has been around for quite some time. It’s been a great value rod (in all weights) and it brings a beautiful casting rod within range of so many more anglers with the great price.

3. Thomas and Thomas Zone
The T&T Zone has been a very successful saltwater rod. It won numerous prizes, including Best of Show Saltwater Fly Rod at IFTD 2018. Fishing one, not long after that, in Seychelles, I soon became very fond of it. Even, dare I say it, more than the more expensive Exocett. Personal preference I guess.
4. Sage X
The Sage X replaces the old One as their new all-water fly rod. In the range, you’ll find offerings from a 5 weight to an 11 weight.

5. Scott Sector
Scott’s most advanced saltwater specific fly rod - the Sector. They’ve thrown everything they have at it, and it’s proper.
The stripping guides are nickel-titanium recoil guides. In essence, they just pop back into place when you bend them. They’re also very resistant to corrosion.
Orvis Encounter Fly Rod Outfit
With an incredible price of just $169, the Orvis Encounter outfit is one of the best value fly fishing combos out there. We’ve also mentioned it in our Best Fly Rod Combo post.
