The LTS Explosive 14′ 6″ #10 rod is a high-performance two-handed fly fishing rod built for casting heavier lines and handling larger flies — ideal for salmon, steelhead or larger trout in rivers and big water. It measures 14 ft 6 inches (4.40 m) in length and is rated for line weight #10, giving it the strength and backbone required for long casts and controlling powerful fish.
Crafted as part of LTS’s Explosive series, this rod features the classic LTS action known for a strong, responsive blank that loads easily and delivers line quickly through the cast, even with heavier lines and shooting heads. The blank typically blends power with smooth handling — offering solid lifting ability and delicacy where needed.
It usually comes in 4 pieces for easier transport and storage, and is supplied with both an original rod tube and protective case, making it suitable for anglers who travel to remote fisheries.
