This is a wonderfully crisp and competent rod for midsize applications. The 7 foot, 9 inch, 5-weight bamboo fly rod from Oyster's Master Series still feels like a small fly rod, but can deliver in a big way for most medium sized waters — a local favorite.

Oyster’s Master Series bamboo fly rod is truly exceptional. This rod is nothing short of a master piece with "best shotgun style engraving" on reel seat and ferrules.

This is our most popular rod series.
