The rod is not sturdy.
By Michael Keller on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2024
I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A FLY ROD BREAK. My father introduced me to fly fishing when I was an early teenager. Even though I saw reviews on this rod talking about rod breaks, I assumed they were catching really big fish. In all my years of fly fishing in Kentucky for bluegill, crappie, and bass, I’d never had a rod break. Today, I caught a nice size bluegill (irrelevant) and then in throwing my line back into the water my lure got hung in a bush. It didn’t come loose easily so I had to pull hard to get it loose. I wasn’t too surprised when the leader broke in trying to get my popper loose, but I was quite surprised when the rod broke. Just do the math. You pay $80 for a rod that lasts less than two months. I don’t know how much my dad paid for those back in the day, but I’m sure it wasn’t a lot because we were not wealthy.

Ive fished this rod all summer and winter and love it. Durable and has a great feel especially for the price. Its spent a couple months in my rod vault of rough roads and is still holding strong. Would buy another one in a larger weight.

Idk what all the fuss is about with this rod, it’s been excellent for me. I’ve taken it out about a dozen times now and it’s been awesome.

I have Sage, Orvis, and Winston rods but I rarely use them. I purchased a 8'6" 5wt Classic Trout for a backup rod. Now I have a 6,5,4, and two 3wts.Ive been fly tying and fishing for 50 years and the older I got I began appreciating a more moderate action rod because I enjoy the play and feel of the catch, which I don't get with a fast action, stiff rod. If you're a beginner or a novice this rod is what to buy. Being able to feel the backload of your cast is critical for accuracy and distance. Im guessing people who buy fast action high-end rods can cast 70 feet but who needs to cast 70 feet. This rod can help one learn to cast properly and eventually will send your fly 50 to 60 ft with a 9ft 4/5wt....and you'll be enjoying the feel of the rod when you play your fish, remembering to not play it too long so you can release him humanely, allowing a fellow fisherperson, the same experience.
Great fly rod

Paired this rod with an Orvis Battenkill clicker reel and couldn't be happier. Have fished this rod for almost two years and have had zero issues
