Christian Coleman –
I’ve used this rod for several trout fishing trips in the mountains. The sensitivity is excellent and it handles the compact lines well. The grip is comfortable and the action is smooth. Great for two-handed Spey casting.
Jonathan Turner –
The rod performs well with light fly lines. The green wraps with red edging look professional. I noticed quick recovery and good line speed during casting. Slightly heavier than expected for a short Spey, but still manageable.
Pippa Metcalfe –
Perfect for small to medium-sized trout in rivers. The low-friction finish on the blank makes casting feel effortless. The guides are durable and the reel seat holds securely.
