Cinder Creek 8WT

The Cinder Creek 9' 8 weight fast action fly rod offers a wide variety of uses for larger saltwater and freshwater species. The Cinder Creek Fly Rod allows the angler to cast larger flies with ease while still offering a delicate touch during presentation.  The butt section of the rod has a solid backbone giving plenty of lifting power for fighting large fish. The Cinder Creek fly rod is a well balanced fly rod with a smooth feel that will give the angler ample power and finesse.  Our fly rods are hand built in Georgia including thread wrapping, epoxy, & cork turning..
