When you need to punch through wind and put the fly right where it needs to be.

The TS-2 is your deep-loading, soulful daily driver. The Cutthroat is its fast-action brother. High-modulus graphite, fast action, quick-loading tip — built for tight loops, long mends, and turning over hopper-dropper rigs and small streamers when the wind comes up.

This is the outfit that won Best Freshwater Fly Rod language this year: Orvis Superfine is medium action for dry-fly chess, TFO Moment is extra-fast to punch heavy flies through wind with surprising accuracy. The Cutthroat lives in the middle — fast, but not broomstick fast. It loads quick, tracks straight, and helps you control line for the best drifts.

Four-piece, packable, built for how real trout anglers fish a full day. Starts with nymphs in the morning, moves to dry-dropper in the afternoon, finishes with spent-wings during the spinner fall. That's RIO Elite Gold XP award language — multi-purpose workhorse with a half-size heavy head that has the weight to push through wind but still presents with delicacy. We built the Cutthroat system the same way.

Machined large-arbor performance reel, all-aluminum, fully ported to cut weight. Improved composite-disk drag with smooth range that can protect light tippets and still pour on power when you're doing battle with heavy trout in fast water — that's Ross Cimarron LT award copy, best freshwater reel 2026.
