  • Fully-Welled Upper Grips
  • Switch Style Lower Grips

  • REC Recoil Guides w/ Ceramic Inserts
  • Shorter Lengths Facilitate Compact Casting and Extra Sensitivity
  • 10'8" 6wt.- Ideal for large trout and bass, big streamers and distance
  • 11' 7wt.- Great for those smaller steelhead/salmon or XL trout/bass streamers and distance (popular for the Great Lakes and Southern Oregon). 
  • 11'6" 8 wt.-Perfect all around steelhead/salmon rod. Enough power to feel comfortable anywhere in the lower 48. 
  • 12'3" 9wt.- This rod screams kings, monster steelhead, and huge distances. 

"OPST’s two-handed rods were designed by legendary angler and Skagit-casting proponent, Ed Ward. Although we’ve only tested the 8-weight, Ed nailed it! According to George Krumm, “The OPST 8-weight is light, strong, capable of launching big rabbit/marabou flies and sink tips ranging from T-8 to T-14, as well as handling the huge, steelhead-sized rainbows for which the Naknek is known.
