About this rod

A true all-rounder for trout fishing in mountain streams

The Lupus 61 is a well-balanced, go-anywhere trout rod designed to handle a wide range of techniques and river conditions. At 6'1", it’s the perfect length for navigating bush-lined creeks, casting with precision in tighter pockets, and covering larger pools with ease.

With a crisp, lightweight feel and a smooth regular taper, the 61 casts 2–10g lures effortlessly and delivers great lure control without fatigue. The sensitive tip picks up light bites confidently, while the firm butt section gives you the stopping power to handle large trout when they show up.

Whether you’re throwing small spoons, working minnows, or mixing in stop-and-go retrieves, the Lupus 61 is a reliable all-rounder — the kind of rod you’ll want to take on every backcountry trip.
