great deep loading blank , lovely slow action with a delicate touch for the dry fly but hidden power that comes out when needed – translucent colour is fantastic

The product is great. Wish there could be some improvement on delivery time but New Zealand is a long way away. 😉

Based on the feeling in the hand. I am still building the rod and am yet to use it fishing.

My second 8 ft 4 wt which is a gift for my father. Very nice rod, which I use for high country trout in the Sierra Nevada. Fiberglass fly rods are amazing.
