Your everyday trout stick — balanced, not clunky.

Most beginner combos are overbuilt and kill accuracy. Heavy blanks that wobble, drags that free-spool or lock up. The TS-2 is the light-and-fast version of the Trout Stalker, built for the angler who is on the creek every day after work.

We built this around what won this year. Lightweight graphite with a moderate-fast action that bends deep into the cork but still throws laser-accurate loops — same language that won Orvis Superfine Graphite best trout rod this year. High carbon density, low resin, so it feels lighter and quicker than a standard 9-footer and you get real feedback fighting fish.

Matched to a ported, large-arbor machined aluminum frame with a refined carbon fiber drag. Smooth, consistent stopping power in a minimalist package — that's Redington Ace language, best freshwater reel 2025. Quick line pickup when a brown runs at you, linear drag that protects 7X without breaking off.

Weight-matched so you can cast longer with less fatigue. 8-1/2' in 4wt for tight creeks and spring creek chess games, 9ft in 5wt for your all-day dry-dropper workhorse, 9ft in 6wt to push hoppers and small streamers through wind.

Comes balanced and rigged — WF floating line, backing, leader — so you skip the fly shop math and get instant water time.
