El Jefe v2 908-6 Fly Rod

9’ | 8wt | 6-Piece | Medium-Fast Action 

The El Jefe v2 908-6 is built for power and versatility. At 9’ and 8wt, it’s the perfect rod for big freshwater predators like bass, steelhead, and pike — or light saltwater targets like bonefish and redfish. With its 6-piece construction, this rod packs down small for travel but delivers the smooth casting and fighting strength of rods costing $600–700.

“El Jefe” means The Boss — and when it comes to throwing big flies and fighting tough fish, this rod lives up to the name.
