Steffen Brothers Fly Rods have been offered to the fly fisher since 1980. All who have had the opportunity to purchase and fish with Steffen Brothers Fly Rods cherish these special rods. The unique and original designs make Steffen Brothers Fly Rods some of the finest in the world today!

While many companies focus on long distance casting, Steffen Brothers Fly Rods offer an alternative. "We have always wanted rods that will cast and fish as well for short distances as medium to long distances. Our rods are not designed for winning long distance casting contests" (Mark Steffen, rod designer). 

Why is fishing close often better than fishing far? It is important to keep in mind that accuracy, delicacy, reading water, and fish spotting are easier at short distances. If you want to fish close, the last rod you want to use is one designed for long casting. Steffen Brothers Fly Rods offer excellent short and medium distance designs. 

The line an angler chooses will affect a fly rod's action Steffen Brothers Fly Rods offer flexibility in action depending on the line used. A Steffen Brothers Fly Rod rated for a 4 or 5 line will have softer feel and cast better short distances with a 5-weight line. The same rod will have a faster feel and cast further distances with a 4-weight line.

Mark Steffen, the rod designer, ensures that all rods meet his rigid standards and requirements. Steffen Brothers Fly Rods are not massed produced off of the assembly line as fast as possible, but each one is made to Mark's exact criteria and inspected thoroughly by Mark personally. these beautiful, unique, and quality rods are made and available on a limited basis from our dealer network or directly from Steffen Brothers Fly Rod Company.
