Redington Big Game Fly Rod
Streamers, Bass Bugs & Big Predators
Built for anglers who hunt with big flies and heavy lines, the Redington Big Game Fly Rod is the most powerful freshwater rod series Redington has ever produced. Designed specifically for streamers, bass bugs, and oversized predator flies, Big Game delivers the lifting power, durability, and fast-recovering performance needed to move serious meat—and fight fish that push back just as hard.
High-stoke and low-stress, the shorter 8’3″ Big Game models excel at pitching bass poppers, swim flies, and large streamers with accuracy and authority. The core 9-foot Big Game rods, including the versatile 690 and 890, offer smooth casting and strong action for heavy-duty fishing.

This rod performs exceptionally well when casting large streamers. The 9′ 690 model handles heavy lines without bending, and the action is smooth even when fighting big bass. I’ve used it in both stillwaters and moving streams and it’s reliable.

The 8’3″ version is perfect for pitching bass poppers with precision. It doesn’t feel stiff, and the recovery after a big take is quick. Great for anglers who target large predatory fish.

Solid performance for big flies. A bit heavy to carry for long days, but the power and durability make up for it. Works well in deep water where big fish are active.
