Freshwater Fly Rod – Fantan Fishing

Freshwater Fly Rod Manufacturer

WHFFR100 is structured as a coordinated freshwater fly rod series rather than a single-length model. Four length options allow brands to build a broader assortment while maintaining the same visual identity, component style, line class, and action.
Its compact 4-section format also keeps transport length between 56 cm / 22.05 in and 75 cm / 29.53 in, making the series suitable for both standard retail rod programs and portable fly-fishing collections.

Four Lengths for a Coordinated Product Range

The WHFFR100 series covers four useful freshwater fly rod lengths without changing the basic product platform.
The shorter 6.6 ft and 7 ft versions provide more compact configurations, while the 8 ft and 9 ft options extend the range for buyers requiring longer fly rod specifications.
Using one consistent platform across several lengths can simplify assortment planning, packaging design, and private-label development.

Slow Action for Controlled Fly Presentation

All four specifications use a slow action. The blank loads progressively through a larger portion of the rod, creating a distinctly different performance profile from faster, tip-focused fly rods.
This makes WHFFR100 suitable for product lines positioned around smooth loading, controlled presentation, and traditional freshwater fly rod characteristics.

Lightweight 4-Piece Construction

Despite the four-piece structure, finished rod weight ranges from only 84 g / 2.96 oz to 100 g / 3.53 oz.

The sectional design provides a practical balance between full working length and reduced packed dimensions:

6.6 ft model: 56 cm / 22.05 in
7.0 ft model: 60 cm / 23.62 in
8.0 ft model: 67 cm / 26.38 in
9.0 ft model: 75 cm / 29.53 in

This gives buyers several portability levels within the same series.

Cork Grip and Metal Reel Seat

The natural cork grip gives the rod a recognizable freshwater fly-rod appearance, while the metal reel seat provides a contrasting finished component at the rear of the handle.

The burgundy blank, light-colored guide wraps, cork grip, and metallic reel-seat finish also create clear areas for OEM appearance customization.
