MARTIN MRT56TKP-GWJ3 FLY ROD 8’ LONG 3 PIECE MAYBE PACK ROD
Kyle Booker The Martin MRT56TKP-GWJ3 appears to be an 8-foot, 3-piece fly rod, possibly designed as a pack rod (compact for travel). Here鈥檚 what I found/deduce:
Key Features:
– Length: 8鈥?(ideal for small streams or tight spaces).
– Pieces: 3 (breaks down compactly for storage/travel).
– Likely Action: Medium-fast or fast (common in modern pack rods).
– Weight: Probably 5 or 6-weight (versatile for trout/bass).
“Pack Rod” Design:
– Compact: Breaks down to ~24鈥?7″ sections for easy transport.
– Durable: Often made with graphite/composite materials.
Potential Specs (if typical for Martin):
– Material: IM6/IM8 graphite or composite.
– Reel Seat: Aluminum or lightweight alloy.
– Guides: Stainless steel or ceramic inserts.
Notes:
– Martin is known for affordable, functional rods (not high-end but reliable).
– Model number suggests a GWJ3 variant (possibly grip/color difference).
Verification Tips:
1. Check the Rod Blank: Look for markings near the handle (line weight, model).
2. Measure Sections: Confirm length when assembled/disassembled.
3. Contact Martin: Email their support with the model number for exact specs.
If you鈥檙e considering it for backpacking or travel, this rod should handle small-to-medium waters well. For heavier fish (e.g., large bass/salmon), verify the line weight rating.
