1. Sage X Fly Rod ($899) Action: Fast Weights: 3 to 8 What we like: Incredibly powerful and accurate; premium build quality. What we don't: Can overpower smaller, slower water. Legendary rod maker Sage recently replaced the One with the X at the top of its esteemed lineup. The best 4-weight rods are superb at the short to medium distances, such as the Zephrus, the Pure, the Scott G-Series and the Orvis Helios 3F. For those anglers that like fast action rods with more power, (for fishing at longer distances or in windy conditions), the G. Loomis Asquith, the T&T Avantt, and the Scott Radian are good choices.

Best Overall: Scott Sector Series The Sector Series ($985) offers strength and accuracy while being ultralight in hand. That's thanks to a new carbon fiber technology called Scott's Carbon Web,. Performance at 60 feet: 9.6 points out of 10. Killer power and accuracy, this is one of the best rods for battling the wind, throwing a smaller streamer, or when casting longer distances. The line tracks exceptionally well in the air. Only Douglas Sky and G. Loomis Asquith are equal or better.

The Best Travel Fly Rod - 2019 Winner. If you are looking for a travel-ready rod, the Tailwater Outfitters Toccoa fly rod is your best choice. This product is a favorite among anglers due to its excellent performance and accuracy. This rod is made of carbon fiber for durability. For easier travel, the Toccoa fly rod comes in four pieces. DON'T ARGUE While as little as a decade ago I might have actually directly answered by categorically stating my now 30-year-old Scott G series 7'6" 2-weight — my first twig rod — was the best, it's now been twice superseded by the G2 and the new G series — oddly not called the G3. This retro-done-right revelation is my first choice.
