I’ve used the 9′ 6wt model for several weeks now and it’s very responsive. The light weight makes casting easy, even in windy conditions. The aluminum reel seat holds firmly and the fighting butt adds stability when landing fish.
Jason Brown –
The 10′ 4wt is great for freshwater fishing. The down locking reel seat is a nice touch. It feels balanced and the graphite is durable. Slight improvement in sensitivity would be ideal, but overall very satisfying.

I bought this rod for my son who’s just starting fly fishing. The fast action and light weight make it easy to handle. The cordura tube protects the rod well during transport.
