Great Bay Rod Co.

We are proud to manufacture our products in the USA and we work around the clock to make sure this pride shows through in each and every one of our best quality fly rods. From high grade cork to the finest American made reel seats; we want your fishing experience to be memorable, enjoyable and productive. This experience begins at our manufacturing facility and is evident when you pull your new fly rod from its aluminum rod tube and fit the precisely crafted sections together.

At Great Bay Rod Company, every piece of angling equipment we make is designed, tested and hand-built with one goal in mind: functionality. Whether you are a saltwater fly fisherman who demands a stout rod, or a small creek fisherman that needs a rod to present a tiny fly with the utmost delicacy, functionality is what you are looking for. The kind of performance that helps you cast better, fish more effectively and have more fun. In short, every Great Bay Rod is specifically designed to help you make the most of your precious time on the water.

Graphite Rods
Great Bay Rod Company opened its manufacturing operations in 2004 with the Winding Brook rod series. The series was then and remains today, a beautifully casting, small stream rod. A traditional marketing plan would call for a launch of best sellers, not a niche of a niche. Following trends just isn’t us. Being unique is. Great Bay Rod Company offers the widest variety of specialty rods in the fly fishing industry. We’re small, we’re lean, and we’re responsive. Our goal is to manufacture affordable rods that solve angling problems. If you’re looking for the perfect Czech nymphing rod, switch rod, still water rod, or saltwater rod, we’ve got you covered.

Fiberglass Rods
We prefer the path less traveled and it shows in our rod designs. We listen to our customers and pay attention to their needs. As a result our rods
feature those performance attributes most often requested. In the Fall of 2008, we introduced our SFT fiberglass rod series and it has become one of our most popular series as anglers take a step back into a slightly more relaxed casting stroke. These rods don’t look like your Dad’s fiberglass rods. And they sure don’t cast like ‘em, either.
