The Story
Everything has changed except the value. The new Clearwater Rod Series is a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Each rod is designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the fishing the rod would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods. Designed in Vermont for anglers worldwide.

Joseph Ellison –
I’ve used this rod for small stream fishing and it’s very responsive. The action is smooth and the feel is solid. The finish looks professional and the rod handles well in the water.
Michael Langdon –
Great build quality and performance. The medium-fast action works perfectly for trout in clear streams. The quick identifier helps me tell it apart from other rods in my collection.
Ian Dowd –
Solid rod for its price. A bit stiff when first used, but breaks in well. The chrome finish is durable and looks nice on the water.
Keith Mills –
Fished it on a lake with mixed species and it handled the casting and retrieval well. The fast-action version is excellent for big game.
