The Carrabassett Package

Built for anglers who believe the best dry fly setup is the one you forget you’re carrying, The Dry Fly Ultimate Setup combines lightweight performance, premium craftsmanship, and all-day fishability into one perfectly balanced package. At the center is the Maine Fly Company Carrabassett Series — our featherweight 8’ rod starting at just 2.6oz. Inspired by an angler from Maine’s Carrabassett region who wanted every premium feature of a full-length fly rod packed into a shorter, more mobile platform, the Carrabassett was designed to fish hard without ever feeling heavy in hand. Finished on a matte sky-blue anti-glare blank that blends naturally against the sky, paired with burl-tone wraps and subtle cork-colored accents, this rod feels every bit as refined as it performs. What started as a lightweight mobility-driven concept quickly became one of the most enjoyable dry fly rods we’ve ever fished. Accurate, lively, protective of light tippet, and unbelievably comfortable to cast hour after hour, the Carrabassett has quietly become the rod we reach for when dry fly season is at its best. To complete the setup, we paired it with the Lamson Litespeed F — the lightest and largest diameter Litespeed Lamson has ever produced. With its ultra large arbor design, space-frame construction, and incredibly impressive strength-to-weight ratio, the Litespeed F feels almost weightless while delivering lightning-fast line pickup and premium USA-made performance. Finished with Scientific Anglers Trout Expert fly line and a Maine Fly Company rod tube, this package was built for anglers who want premium gear without unnecessary weight, long days without fatigue, and a setup that simply makes dry fly fishing more fun. This isn’t just a lightweight setup. It’s the setup you’ll still want to cast eight hours later.
