A Bamboo Rod That Fits the Flow

A Trustworthy 4-Weight for Varied Waters

At 7' 6" and 4-weight, the Gallatin is a sweet-spot rod for anglers who want a classic bamboo feel with everyday versatility. Based on the Payne 100 taper, it delivers a smooth, progressive action that’s easy to control and fun to cast.

It’s ideal for fishing dries and small nymphs on streams, creeks, and moderate rivers—where subtle presentations and a natural drift matter most.

Payne 100: Smooth Power in a Moderate Range

The Payne 100 taper loads progressively, giving the angler great feedback and cast control from short to medium distances. It’s not built for heavy rigs or big wind, but for everything else—from caddis and PMDs to attractors and soft hackles—it performs beautifully.

Where the Gallatin Belongs

The Gallatin is named for its namesake river in Montana, but it’s ready for any water where 4-weight precision pays off. Think meadow streams, medium-sized freestones, or canyon rivers where accuracy and control matter more than brute force. It’s versatile within its class—perfectly suited for anglers who stick to dries, light nymphs, and unpressured water.
