This fly rod casts smoothly and feels balanced in hand. The G-Tec platelets make a noticeable difference in dampening. I’ve used it for both dry fly and nymphing and it handles well in different conditions.
Molly Martin –
The lightweight design makes it easy to carry on long trips. The titanium guides are smooth and don’t catch line. The cork grip is comfortable and the rod holds up well after several casts.
Hannah Butler –
Great performance for its price. The casting accuracy is excellent, and the recovery is fast. Slight stiffness in the middle section, but overall a solid choice for intermediate anglers.
Molly Young –
I’ve used this rod for several seasons now. The durability is impressive, and the burled blackwood adds a nice feel. The plush sock protects the rod well during storage.

The rod is easy to cast and very responsive. The double uplocking rings provide secure reel seating. It’s a bit heavier than expected for its length, but still very manageable.
