The original 10'6" 4 weight 4 piece: We call this rod a 4 weight (+/- 1) meaning; you can go down to a 3 weight and the rod will be stiffer in action as a 3 weight, or you can go up to a 5 and the rod will slow down and be more of a full flex rod.
Available with downlock reel seat, with or without fighting butt. A great EURO Nymphing Rod.
The Short Barrel: an 8 foot 3 weight 3 pc. version of the peacemaker. We call this a +1 line weight, meaning you fish it with a 3 weight or bump it up to a 4 weight line. We prefer it with a 4 weight, but it is a faster action 3 weight if you wish.
Peacemaker Combo: includes the 10'6" 4 weight 4pc. peacemaker and the sidekick to convert it to a 8 foot 3 weight 3 piece. All in one case. 2 rods in one.
The Sidekick: convert your NEW or already owned peacemaker into a smooth 8 foot 3 weight 3 piece with this extra 3rd section. This is a single section only. Available on request.
The below image shows how this works.
The red sections are used on both versions.
The 10'6" uses the two red tips and the blue butt sections.
The green additional butt section is used for the 8 foot version and also uses the same to top sections shown in red.
The total package is 5 pieces in total.
Mark Usyk, Chris Murphy, Wayne Weber and Nate Martin are four anglers I trust and respect and all four of them have said that this rod is one of the most diverse rods they’ve ever cast and fished. It's not just a nymphing rod, it’s not just a dry fly rod, and it’s not just a streamer rod... It's an everything rod and it does everything well.
The Peacemaker was first made for a trip that Mark and I did on an Adirondack river that needed to be floated by canoe. It was deep, with crowded alder banks, and it was loaded with trout... but you needed a longer rod to dap with when you didn’t need to cast, and to mend with and reach with. Not only that, but the added length of the rod actually helped on the small headwaters by keeping the line well above the alders while making casts! We’d found one of the Peacemaker’s many applications.
Afterwards, Mark fished it for a couple years, but I still wasn’t convinced on adding it to the JP Ross line-up. It was a wonderful rod, but we already had wonderfully casting rods, was it different enough to compliment our line up and add real value? Until… In walk two Euro Nymphers, Nate and Chris. They get theirs and they absolutely love it. Then… In walks Wayne, who steelhead fishes on light tackle, and he loves his... And so with everyone agreeing that this rod will truly fill many roles and all of them very well the decision was made to add it to the JP Ross line up after years of testing!
The Peacemaker is designed for the grain weight of a 4 weight line or 120 grains. However, due to the tip and mid-section make up and layup, this rod can go up to a 5wt for monoclear stillwater fishing and single handed spey casting, or down to a 3wt for dapping and dry fly fishing. Call or email us with questions.
During the testing years of this rod The Peacemaker fished absolutely wonderfully through delicate dry fly presentations to deep nymph dredging to streamer and popper fishing, and it’s handled all fish, big and small without worry. The Peacemaker has the finesse for the delicate work and the backbone for the heavy lifting. It performs!
I like the look of the nickel reel seat with buckeye insert and down lock configuration with a 1-inch fighting butt for balance, but we’re open to make these rods custom for you. The process is easy. Make your purchase and email me, and I’ll send you pics after a quick call or email conversation about themes. I’ll mock something up for you to see.
Lines: I absolutely recommend the Airflo Tactical Taper Fly Line for this rod.
Rod Built weight: approx. 3oz depending on components.
