Big Fish, Big Fly! 

The Payload Series is designed to help anglers cast those heavy lines and big flies more effectively with a powerful but comfortable casting action. Whether launching a double-articulated streamer to the far bank with the 689-4 or dredging the Sacramento Delta with the 989-4, anglers will notice how easy it is to hurl a heavy line and big fly with the PAYLOAD.

Featuring a fast action for casting large flies and very powerful tip to help pick up heavy lines off the water, the PAYLOAD is tuned for the extreme. These powerful mid sections then transition to a more forgiving butt that allows for a slower and more relaxed casting stroke that reduces fatigue. This softer butt section also allows for more leverage while fighting fish, making it easier to gain ground on hard fighting species. The 6–9wt models are 8ft 9in, offering a shorter lever for casting and landing fish from a boat than a traditional 9ft rod. The 10wt is 9ft, and the 11wt is 9ft 3in.
