6‑piece • Extra tip • Packs into 18" fiberglass tube • 4.4 oz

A travel rod built for quiet water and thoughtful anglers, the Windcrest 7'9" 3wt carries the familiar Windcrest blend of tradition, experimentation, and cottage‑shop craftsmanship. Each rod is made one at a time in the Windcrest workshop, where small‑batch bamboo work meets a maker who refuses to stop exploring what cane can do.

Construction & Ferrules

This 6‑piece, 2‑tip 3‑weight uses the Windcrest hybrid ferrule system:

Bamboo male ferrules that maintain the warmth and continuity of the cane
Fiberglass female ferrules for secure seating, durability, and consistent alignment

The connection is smooth and intuitive, giving the rod a classic feel with modern reliability—ideal for a travel format that sees real use on the water.

Action & Fishing Character

At 4.4 oz, this taper is built for small streams, soft currents, and precise presentations. It loads easily at short range, recovers cleanly, and carries that familiar Windcrest honesty in the cast—lively without being twitchy, delicate without being fragile.

Portability

The rod breaks down into six compact sections plus an extra tip, all packing neatly into an 18" fiberglass tube. It’s a true field companion: small enough for backpacks, sling bags, and glove boxes, yet fully capable once assembled.
