The rod feels balanced and responsive in the water. The med fast action works well for both casting and retrieving. The grip options make it comfortable for different hand sizes. I appreciate the support for Fly Fishers International through each purchase.

Great for intermediate anglers. The ceramic guides reduce friction and improve casting accuracy. The rod is durable and the fabric case protects it well during transport.

I’ve used this rod for several trips to the lake. The 9-foot length gives good reach without being too long. The two grip styles allow me to find the most comfortable fit.
