Beautifully designed to reflect the central Oregon spring creek for which they were named, the Metolius is the workhorse of our trout line-up. These are smooth casting fly rods with both accouterments and the price scaled down a bit. They're made from a special blend of two and sometimes three proprietary graphite's (no... we are not telling you what they are). Metolius rods feature our exclusive offset-oval reel seat with a beautifully engraved G.Loomis fish on a delicate green insert. There are two different actions available in the Metolius line: Presentation and High Line Speed. Also available is a 13' 4" (3 piece) two-hand "trout spey" rod, offering a uniquely different approach to some very technical fly rod challenges. Salmon and Steelhead anglers have long under-stood the advantages of the super long rod and now it's available on a very nice 5/6-weight rod. It adds a totally new dimension to the trout angler's arsenal.
