Fly Fishing Rods

Choosing the right fly rod is the most important decision in fly fishing. The rod you cast every session affects how accurately you can place a fly, how much you feel through the fight, and ultimately how much you enjoy the time on the water. At Frontier, we carry rods suited to the full range of South African fly fishing - from the streams of the Drakensberg to the estuaries of the Eastern Cape.

Rod weight is the starting point. A 3 or 4-weight is right for small stream trout fishing where presentation and delicacy matter most. A 5 or 6-weight covers most South African trout, bass and yellowfish situations - versatile enough to handle a range of conditions without being overgunned for smaller fish. A 7 or 8-weight handles larger freshwater species and inshore saltwater, while 9 to 12-weights are built for the salt - bonefish, permit, giant trevally and tarpon.

We stock fly rods from Sage, Horizon, Scott and other trusted brands across a wide price range. Our Sage R8 range delivers benchmark fast-action performance for the angler who wants the best. Horizon fly rods offer proven South African performance at a price that makes sense for the local market. Need help choosing? Read our fly rod buyer's guide or contact us directly.
