What that means is, we’ll fix your broken fly rod, and if we can’t fix it, we’ll replace it, no questions asked. Step on it, close the door on it, run over it with the car—it doesn’t matter, we’ll fix it. If we can’t repair it, we’ll choose a newer model rod of at least equal value to replace it. Your investment is assured for a nominal shipping and handling charge.

THE STORY

Recon® packs high-end performance into a rod built for days on rivers, streams and stillwaters – strapped to a rucksack or carried down a dewy bank before sunrise. Using construction techniques inspired by our Helios™ series, we developed an incredibly durable rod series that delivers increased hoop strength for enhanced lifting power, pinpoint tracking for long casts, and smooth loading in close.

Recon is built to adapt—whether you’re delivering dries under low-hanging trees, working nymphs through fast riffles or reaching for distance on a windswept reservoir. No unnecessary flair, just relentless go-anywhere versatility, crafted in the USA by anglers who measure success by stories, not likes. Available in 13 new freshwater and six saltwater models.
