Back to School: Rods with Cameron Mortenson

In this Back to School episode, we sit down with Cameron Mortenson of The Fiberglass Manifesto to talk through fly rods from the ground up: line weight, length, action, budget, purpose, fiberglass versus graphite, and why the right rod is more than just a price tag or a cool color. Cameron has spent nearly eighteen years writing about fiberglass fly rods, rod builders, makers, and the small details that shape the way a rod fishes. We also talk about choosing rods for trout, bass, saltwater, small streams, streamers, dry flies, and destination trips; when custom rods make sense; why line choice can completely change how a rod feels; and why the best anglers tend to care about both the archer and the arrow.
