El Jefe v2 908-6 Packable Fly Rod – 9' 8 Weight 6-Section Travel Rod

Overview:

The next generation of our most popular packable rod is here. The El Jefe v2 Packable Fly Rod builds on the legacy of the original El Jefe Series—offering unmatched performance, rugged reliability, and exceptional value in a true travel-ready design.

These 6-piece rods are compact enough to fit in a backpack or carry-on, but powerful and responsive enough to fish like your favorite 4-piece. Built in our new Korean partner factory, the El Jefe v2 is more refined, more durable, and still the best value in fly fishing.

Launching in two of the most essential weights:

• 9’ 5 Weight – All-around trout rod for dries, nymphs, and streamers

• 9’ 8 Weight – Ideal for bass, big trout, and light saltwater work

Key Features:

• Premium Carbon Fiber Blanks: Medium-fast action that loads smoothly and delivers pinpoint accuracy

• Compact 6-Section Design: Packs down to just 22”, perfect for travel or minimal gear missions

• Upgraded Build Quality: Built in a state-of-the-art Korean factory using precision craftsmanship

• Rugged Cordura Square Tube: Comes protected in a tough, travel-friendly Cordura-covered case—built for real-world abuse, not showroom aesthetics

• High-Quality Hardware: CNC-machined aluminum reel seat with wood insert, ion-plated chrome guides, and alignment dots for quick assembly

• Backed by Our Warranty & Direct-to-Angler Value: You won’t find a better-performing packable rod at this price—because there’s no middleman
