Product overview
A fly fishing practice rod, often called a Micro Practice Rod (MPR), is s specialized, maniature rod(typically 3 to 4 feet long) designed to help you master casting loops and muscle memory anywhere.
Using a weighted yarn rope or heavy PVC line instead of standard monofilament, these rods perfectly simulate how a full-sized 9-foot rod bends and "loads," making them highly effective for year-round training.
