The Sweet Spot...
The 8'6" Mission Fly Rod occupies the perfect middle ground - long enough for extended reach and smooth mending, yet short enough to offer tight control and delicate presentation. It's the ideal 5-weight for anglers who want one rod to do it all on freshwater: dries, nymphs, and small streamers alike.
Balanced and beautifully responsive, this rod loads with ease and recovers quickly, allowing for tight loops, accurate casts, and quiet landings. It excels in everything from spring creeks and high-country rivers to wider freestone flows where subtlety and versatility are key.
Built on a premium CTS blank and finished with Maven’s hallmark vintage styling, the 8'6" Mission blends modern performance with timeless aesthetics. Available in Natural, Vintage Blue, Nightshade, and Sunset Pink, each rod is distinguished by our signature cream under-wraps and refined hardware.
If you're looking for a do-it-all freshwater rod with just the right amount of length and a whole lot of soul, the 8'6" Mission is it.

The blue color is not only beautiful, but blends with the sky on close range fish in shallow water.
