Western Glass – 8’6” 5 WT

The 5-weight brings classic glass feel to familiar western water. Smooth, balanced, and confident across mid-sized rivers, it turns over a dry-dropper or soft hackle with calm precision. It’s the rod you reach for when the day stretches ahead and the fishing is steady — responsive enough to keep you in tune with every drift, but never rushed.

Since the inception of Livingston Rod this has been our best seller and is often our go to rod.
