5 Weight Fly Rods & Combos

The 5 weight fly rod is the most versatile and popular rod in fly fishing — the “do-it-all” trout setup.

El Rey G6 9’ 5 wt – ultra-packable six-piece
El Jefe v2 9’ 5 wt – classic four-piece

A 5 weight covers everything from dry flies to nymph rigs and even smaller streamers. It’s the rod most anglers reach for first because it can handle nearly any trout water. Whether you pick the packable El Rey or the classic El Jefe v2, you’ll fish premium rods that rival $600–$1,000 big-brand options while saving up to 50%.
