    Classic Trout and Classic Western -- Legendary for its superb balance, smooth action and easy casting over a variety of distances, and Classic Trout series may be as close to the ultimate all-around trout rods as you can get. This year in addition to "bringing back the Classics", we've expanded further by including a new series of slightly faster rods with all the favorite attributes of the original Classic by adding the Western Classic. Both series are the culmination of over 30 years of rod engineering and development, utilizing progressive taper construction with our own intermediate modulus graphite.
