Thanks to our proprietary semi-hollow internal ferrule, Scott has been making 5-piece trout rods for 18 years. The G 845/5 is the ultimate travel 5-weight, whether you're packing into the high country or flying in a small airplane. A 5-weight is well suited to any trout fishing situation, and this rod is equally capable with small dry flies as it is with nymphs and streamers. Despite having four ferrule joints for five pieces, the G 845/5 is one of our smoothest and lightest feeling fly rods. Best of all, it packs into a 23" case! This rod travels so well that you'll find yourself bringing it on every fishing trip, even if it's your backup rod.
