New rods are
introduced all the time.

If one stands out,
you might wonder, why?

This one stands out.

L.L. Bean’s
Pocket Water Fly Rod
is built for trout fishing on small streams or ponds.

Fishing those waters
calls for delicate, accurate casts in tight places, with
a short rod.

The Pocket Water,
made with a graphite blank, is built to excel at casts less than 40 feet, “ideal for stealthy fishing,” the company says.

The medium-action rod features a cork half-wells grip, a burled-wood spacer and double-footed snake guides.

A four-piece, the rod comes with a lightweight, carbon-fiber rod tube, easy to pack when hiking.

The Pocket Water has a
classic look, a light, brown
finish like bamboo.

The rod is available in four
sizes: a 6-1/2-foot 3 weight;
a 6-foot 10-inch 4 weight; a
7-1/2-foot 4 weight; and a
7-foot 10-inch 5 weight.

The price is economical,
ranging from $195 to $210,
depending on size .

A Pocket Water Reel
is available to match,
and a rod-and-reel outfit is available.

All are economical.

The company, L.L. Bean, is certainly one reason the rod stands out.

L.L. Bean’s rods can be surprising quality, especially the action.

When a practical idea for a rod comes from a venerable company,
you take a second look.

It stands out.
