Redington's Path II series of rods has an option for everywhere you wander, desolate valleys packed with tight trails and tiny blue line fun all the way to the first push of the incoming tide on a sand flat. Made with a medium-fast action, the Path is a rod that you can turn to when casting dry flies and need pinpoint accuracy, just as well as you can use it to deliver some chunkier streamers; and for the beginning fly angler, this rod offers just enough feedback in its flex to help hone those casting skills. Built-in line weights 3 through 9, you can count on the Path II whether you’re casting nymphs to trout or stripping streamers and crustaceans in front of various saltwater species. Priced at just under $150, this series of rods have an option for it all, and with an affordable price point that doesn’t sacrifice quality, it’s a great choice for those needing a backup stick or something to take on a one-off trip.
Blank
Graphite - Redington built their Path II rods on a graphite blank with a medium-fast action. Made in a solid range of line weights, this blank has options whether you want to plunge nymphs deep into pools, cast dry flies precisely under a bank, or give long presentations to blitzing fish.
The Path II Rods also have an aesthetic appeal and come in a classy brown color with yellow accenting that will have your mind on rising browns and laid-up snook, while alignment dots ensure frustration is never part of your rigging.
