Jackson Hole Fly Co - Backpacker Rod Combo Kit

Ultralight Backcountry Traveler

The Backpacker Rod Combo Kit is built for anglers who venture beyond the trailhead. Designed around the compact 7'0" 4WT Yellowstone II Fly Rod, this setup delivers fast-action control in a shorter, highly maneuverable platform—perfect for overgrown banks, alpine creeks, and tight brush corridors.

Now available with your choice of a Nickel Yellowstone Grizzly 3/4WT Reel or Nickel Yellowstone Flow 5/6WT Reel, both designed with a large-arbor platform and fully sealed drag system for smooth, dependable performance. Each combo arrives pre-spooled with Tan Silvertip Weight Forward Floating Line and Green Dacron Backing, delivering a clean, cohesive look and a balanced, ready-to-fish setup that pairs seamlessly with the rod's compact build.

The Backpacker is designed as a fully outfitted small-stream performance combo—combining a responsive Yellowstone II rod, your choice of nickel sealed-drag reel, and essential accessories to create a refined, ready-to-fish system built for exploration.

Pre-Spooled & Ready to Fish

Every Backpacker combo ships rigged and ready — no reel setup, no line rigging, no leader tying required. Pull it from the case, string it up, and you're fishing.
