Designed by hardened musky fly fishermen specifically to meet the demands of launching heavy grain lines and meaty flies, this rod excels at both one-handed casting (500-600gr line) with accurate bank presentation and being an absolute line-eating distance machine using the two-handed method (600-700gr line). The Thorne Bros Heavy Fly Rod was rigorously tested over the course of a year in countless conditions and stood up to the most savage treatment, making it the ideal “boat” rod.  12+wt

Hand-built in the USA, the Thorne Bros Custom Musky Fly Rod - Heavy features an industry-first two-piece lower ferrule design, positioning the ferrule at the lower third of the rod to enhance ease of travel without sacrificing power. If you’re tired of checking your ferrule connection all day, this is the rod for you.

Pre-built rods are fitted with:

• Fuji guides, wrapped with Thorne Bros' traditional colors: black with red metallic trim bands.
• Black aluminum double uplocking reel seat.
• Thorne Bros cork fore and rear grip with rubberized cork at the bottom for durability
• Handwritten rod specs and, of course, the name of the best big fish rod builders in the country!
