Clearance Fly Rods

  All listed items are subject to prior sale.

Last Updated June 15, 2019

On this page we will list assorted fly rods that we offer at discount or clearance prices.  Typically these are rods we pull out of storage.  The list changes periodically as we sell rods or dig additional rods out of storage.  Rods found here include models from J Kennedy Fisher, Orvis, Redington, and others.  All rods listed here can be shipped to U.S.A addresses.  We do not have an online purchase option.  If interested in purchase please call or email the shop to confirm availability.

Stroud Tackle was a St. Croix dealer from the 1970's through the mid-2000's.  We have found a number of new in the tube rods, mostly from the late 1990's and early 2000's.  These are very nice made in USA models available at a discounted prices.    The Legend and Legend Ultra models originally retailed from the high $200's to nearly $400 range.  The Avid models were in the mid $200's range.  Legend and Legend Ultra models have a matte dark green blank and come with a Green Cordura covered PVC rod tube.  Avid models have a matte charcoal color blank come with a Black Cordura covered PVC rod tube.  The Avid models have a more medium-fast action compared to the faster Legend and Legend ultra models.  We also have a single Legend Elite 6wt rod from the the mid 2000's. This s a very nice fast action rod that was a step up from the Legend Ultra Series.

Stroud Tackle was an Orvis Dealer from the early 1980s. We have located a number of older Orvis rods in storage and are now offering them for sale. These rods date from the mid 1980's to the early 2000's. Most of the rods listed are in mint condition. Many of the tubes were still sealed in the plastic the rods were shipped in until we opened them up to check on the condition of each rod. A couple of these may have been on the display rack at some point in time but most had not been out of their tubes until we recently insepected them. Some of the tubes may show some exterior dust or wear from being moved around a storage facility over the years. However the rods are in pristine condition.

We turned up a couple of very special (we think!) heavy duty rods suitable for bluewater angling.   These are rods suitable for billfish, tuna, and sharks.   They are also heavy rods.  I wouldn't want to cast one all day, but if taking a few shots at big fish they are just fine.  Despite there heavy weight and line designation, these rods are not "broomsticks."  The tips flex nicely for such heavyweight fly rods into the top of the middle section and get out of the way to allow you to lift with the lower half of the mid section and the butt section when you are hooked up with a monster.

We have been a Redington dealer since the mid-1990s. We have located a couple of boxes of 2 piece Freshwater (FSF) and Saltwater (SSF) fly rods in storage and may turn up a few more.  Two piece rods are much less popular now but are just fine if you don't travel.   All rods are new and offered at a steep discount. Of course, all of these rods are available for purchase in person in the shop too.  Original retail prices on these rods were $225-$250.  All rods include a sock and an aluminum rods tube.  All of these rods are unused.  Some of the tubes may have some scrapes or scratches.
