Joan Anderson –
I’ve used this rod for several salmon and steelhead trips. The feel is smooth and responsive, especially when casting in wet weather. The cork handle is comfortable and the guides hold up well under heavy pulls. A solid choice for serious anglers.
Kimberly Sanderson –
The V-Joint technology makes the rod feel more balanced and durable. It’s lighter than expected for its strength. I’ve caught several large steelhead with it and it handled the fights well without breaking.
Molly Burgess –
Great performance in cold, rainy conditions. The green blank blends well with the environment. The reel seat is secure and the guides don’t slip. A bit stiff at the tip, but overall very reliable.
