Mission 13ft #8–9 4pc Fly Rod (DH)
The Mission DH 13ft #8–9 is crafted for anglers who demand precision, speed, and effortless authority in their casting. This double handed rod brings power to the top hand – ideal for overhead specialists, beach casters, and those chasing migratory giants across wide rivers or wild coastlines.
Where traditional Underhand and Scandi rods load deep in the butt to drive the cast, the Mission DH does things differently. It features a firm lower section for power and a progressively softer tip that responds instantly to your stroke. The result? Faster line speed, tighter loops, and a crisp, connected feel that puts you in total control – whether you’re laying out quick shots or carrying long lines into the wind.
From short punchy casts to full-send deliveries, the Mission DH excels in delivering consistent performance under dynamic conditions.

I’ve used this rod for several weeks on the coast and it handles wind and long casts really well. The tip is very responsive and the power transfer is smooth. Great for overhead casting when the wind is strong.
Rose Robertson –
The 13ft length works well for both short bursts and longer casts. I noticed a noticeable improvement in loop tightness compared to my previous rod. It’s a bit heavier than I expected, but the performance justifies it.

Perfect for migratory fish in open waters. The double-handed design gives me more control when casting over rocks and waves. The action feels balanced and the tip reacts quickly to my stroke.
