Founded in 2004, Great Bay Rod Company has become one of the largest fly rod manufacturers on the East Coast. At Great Bay Rod Company, 100% of our fly rods are handcrafted and hand-tested in the USA before we ship them for use in your angling sojourns. Our goal is to design and supply you with a quality rod at an affordable price.

Functionality is at the forefront of our designs. Whether you are a saltwater fly fisherman who demands a distance-casting machine or a small creek fisherman who needs precision, we have a rod to suit your needs. We offer best sellers and excel with true niche rods that really elevate your level of play.

Every Great Bay Rod is equipped with premium components, fine cork grips, hook keeps, aluminum rod tube and sock. Discriminating anglers may upgrade their rod selections with our Master Series. Customize your rod with nickel silver components and just enough custom-built personality to create an eye-catching, hard-fishing fly rod.

Your rod investment is backed by solid American craftsmanship and protected by our Lifetime Warranty.

When you choose one of the many Great Bay Rod Company products you’re not just getting a new fly rod.

You’re investing in America, one rod at a time.

One of the benefits of nationwide conservation efforts as well as A River Runs Through It is that there are a lot of great rods on the market. Great Bay Rod Company differentiates itself from the pack based on two fundamental principals: rod manufacturing and business practices. Our rods are made the way products were a long time ago. Made in America, by American craftsmen who take pride in offering a superior product at a reasonable price. Products that perform well and last for a long time. Products with innovative designs that set rather than follow, the pace. Our rods are real. A niche rod is a niche rod, period. At Great Bay Rod Company, we don’t try to sell you an 8 foot rod as a small stream rod. We build 5, 6, or 7 foot rods for that purpose.

We treat our dealers with respect. Prior to forming our company we were customers in their shops. So we know. We know that every day they work hard to help fishermen have memorable days on the water. They sacrifice their own fishing and travel so we can enjoy ours. The least we can do is to help them with fair business practices like our Dealer Protection Program. We believe it’s our job to work harder so they don’t have to. Browse our catalog or follow the links below for more information.

Graphite Fly Rods

Great Bay Rod Company takes pride in "taking the path least traveled" and we're no different when it comes to new rod designs. We listen to our customers, pay attention to their needs, and design our rods with the features and performance attributes requested most. It was in this spirit that we introduced the SFT fiberglass rod series. Introduced in the Fall of 2008, these rods have become one of our more popular series as anglers take a step back into a slightly more relaxed casting stroke. These rods are not your Dad's fiberglass rods; far from it, these rods have more backbone than many of the older fiberglass fly rods (like the Shakespeare Wonder Rod that was handed down to the President of this company from his father).

Fiberglass Fly Rods

All rods feature our proprietary tapers, and a lifetime original-owner warranty. Every rod ships with a Great Bay Rod Company branded aluminum rod tube and rod bag. Great Bay Rod Company carefully inspects each rod for fit and finish and performs quality assurance testing on 100% of the products that leave our facility; testing includes, static deflection testing to insure precise guide placement, hand casting of all fly rods, and actual line weight measurement verification.

Great Bay Rod Company currently offers 72 fly rod models but be sure to check-in with us often as our inspired rod design team is always hard at work!
