- In this episode of Coffee Break, Noah and Brady sit down to talk about 10-foot rods. This has been a buzzing topic recently, both on the water and in the shop. A lot of trout anglers may think of 10-foot rods as exclusively for euro nymphing, but that is not always the case. They can have a variety of uses. So if you're looking to learn more about 10-foot rods, we encourage you to check out our video and give us a call or visit our shop if you have any questions!

I’ve been guiding with 10’ rods since about 2012. At first it was a dedicated nymphing rod for woman. It helped with casting and fighting fish with the extra length. Soon I realized that it was just a better tool for all people to nymph with. I don’t throw dries with them because it’s a longer lever to push through the air. It’s a dedicated nymphing rod with a nymphing line.
I still use 9’ rods for nymphing also but that’s usually for better casters and lower water where I don’t need the reach. Think Deckers and Pueblo in winter. Since the first 10’er I used for guiding, I’ve added numerous 10’ers for the guide business.
Great content!!!💪🏽
Awesome to hear!!
Thanks for sharing. I’m a 3rd season guide and I like to get the guided perspective. I run all 9 foot 4 and 5 weights right now, I do nymph with clients but mostly dries
Actually just purchased a 3 wt-10 foot Orvis Recon, love it, sensitive for nymphing, very accurate, great for streamers with smaller fly’s, excellent for dry flies, no problem bringing in a 20 plus incher, made me a believer in a 10 footer for lakes and bigger rivers
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Interesting. Good to know. I’ve got a couple 9’6” Redington Vice rods in 6 and 7wt. I really like them, caught some great fish on them up to a 30” steelhead and similarly sized Lohotan from pyramid on both the 6 and 7. So would you also recommend I go for the 3wt for my first euro rod?
im in love for longer rods, not only for contact nymphing. they are good for single hand spey casting , they are good for wet fly or emerger fishing to do better drag-free drifts (to keep more line off the water), they are good for some exotic downstream presentations like dapping or riffle hitching etc. also longer rod generates more line speed , which is good for casting in windy areas, like lake or the sea
Have 2 Moonshine Drifter Rod 10' in 5 & 7 weight & my 7 weight is a awesome for Trout/Mirco Spey & the extra reach is awesome in still water,great video & information
Good stuff!
Love the vibe!
Love 10 ft rods for Steelies and kings. My 10 ft 8 wt. is decent for throwing big streamers
Hardy ultra lite 10’ is a great all rounder.
Thanks for the note!
Hi guys just a wee comment on 10 ft rods here in Scotland and the rest of the UK a 10 ft rod is the usual length for loch/ lake fishing with wets and dries , also in years go by especially loch fishing we would use a single handed rod of 11 ,11 6 ,or 12 foot or longer for loch style for brown trout and sea trout ( sea run browns). Hope this is useful
That's great information! Thank you for sharing
I enjoy my ten footers and even longer for tight lining. Thanks!!
Right on!
Great coffee break. Question: I’m a novice and currently own a 9 foot-6W. Want to experience a lighter rod, what are your thoughts on a 3W rod? Another one, where did you guys start…tying or fishing? Thank you?
This is a great question! If you give us a call, we would be happy to answer your question more in-depth! (720) 836-3619
Thanks for watching and the questions! We would be happy to help dial you in on a 3wt rod. It might behoove us to have you call our shop as we can sift through the necessary questions. For the second question, and myself (Brady) I grew up in Parker Colorado and spent most weekends in Meeker Park near Estes Park. In regards to my fly tying journey, check out this article that we posted back in 2020. blog.avidmax.com/2020/03/26/fly-tying-the-connection-to-loved-ones/
Hello. I’ve been thinking about a 10’ rod for a while but I’m hesitant to get a 3wt. Can they handle trout over 19 and 20” or more?
I’m new to euro nymphing and a currently have an array of rods from 4-10 wt, and a couple at 9.5’. I understand the sensitivity bonus yet I’m concerned about being outgunned as I like to target larger trout and fish bigger water. A friend of mine landed a smaller steelhead on a 10’ 3wt and I watched him get bullied mercilessly and barely land the fish. I’d like to also be able to use the rod for streamers and maybe swing wets at night. Should I go for the 4wt?
Thanks for watching! Defiantly a lot to consider here. Keep in mind that the typical 10ft rod has a butt section that is larger than its 9ft counterparts. A 3wt 10ft rod for example may have a butt section that is comparable in diameter to a 4wt or 5wt 9ft rod. This helps maintain fighting power in the butt section on the longer rods. It also helps the overall taper of the rod. While a 3wt 10ft rod (in most cases) will have no problem with 19" or 20" trout I personally (Brady) have landed fish over 20" on my 10ft 2wt IMX Pro E rod. Steelhead change the conversation a bit. I hope this helps!
Been casting flyrods for 64 years. While I dont disagree with much of what you say, but Cmon. I fished 8 1/2' rods for most of that time. I used glass, bamboo, and IM6 graphite. I recently bought a 10' 4wt and it is a great rod, but my old ones are fine. You folks are marketing, and listening to you, it seems if you dont have a group of rods of multiple lengths and weights, there is something wrong with you.
You can get away with only one size rod! However, with the growing popularity of 10ft rods, we thought it would be fun to discuss its benefits and how it can be added to a collection to help in various situations. If you prefer rods you already own, by all means, stick with them! We are just trying to educate and share helpful information :)
