Redington has spent decades making quality fly rods accessible to a wide range of anglers, from beginners picking up their first real rod to experienced fishers who want a capable backup or specialized tool without spending four figures. Their Wrangler, Trout, and Vice series consistently deliver smooth, fishable actions that handle well in real-world conditions, and the Predator and Butterstick have both earned devoted followings. Redington builds rods that make fly fishing approachable without cutting corners on the things that matter on the water.

Forty-plus Redington rods tested and reviewed - actions analyzed, real-world performance documented, and every model compared honestly against others at the same price point. See our fly rod testing methodology for how we approach it, then browse the full reviews below.
