Reviewed by: hotquad ,  Paddler

Price Paid:  $165.00 at Ebay

Summary:
I have the 10' 2 piece 5 weight, which I bought because I 'm in a wheelchair and all my fishing is from a driftboat. The extra length is wonderful for the roll casting of weighted 2 nymph or big hopper/droppers rigs. Gives great feel when fishing wooly buggers that those big browns seem to love.

The medium action gave me pinpoint accuracy casting to banks for big browns and bows on the fantasic Bow River near Calgary. The bendability of the rod is great in bringing those big wild fish close to the boat to the net.

I was incredibly lucky to get this rod for $165 on Ebay, what a fantasic buy! I love it, what a great tool and piece of equipment! They just don't make'em like they used to. Everything is now "Fast action" so you can cast a mile, no delicacy and grace anymore.

Customer Service:
No need for any.

Reviewed by: CHRINSY ,  50+ days a year , from tasmania australia

Price Paid:  $300.00 at piscatoria U.K

Summary:
The g904 is the bench mark for all other creek and river rods. Its looks and finish may leave something to be desired in the cosmetics stake, but have no doubt that the action of this rod leaves all the others standing.It has that extra something that makes it stand out.You can use the thinnest tippets and smallest flies with no fear of bumping off fish, like all the other faster taper rods available.Consummate river rod.

Customer Service:
When in Berkley, very good. then they went to some place in Colorado, and I visited the store and they couldnt even bother to see me and say hi.So I would say that customer service for me poor.

Price Paid:  $252.00 at Worldwaters.com

Summary:
Got my dream rod on closeout online. I bought the 8-foot, 5 wt because it will throw dries, weighted nymphs and streamers. This rod also has the medium action that I love.

Haven''t needed it, but understand it is excellent

Reviewed by: Robbie Robertson ,  40 days a year

Price Paid:  $250.00 at www.worldwaters.com

Summary:
Was my dream rod that I couldn't afford, until they were discontinued by Worldwaters. Awesome feel and action, like the fiberglass rods I grew up with. I've cast everything from size 6 clousers to size 20 midges. The rod is really at home on short streams, but does everything well.

Customer Service:
Haven''t had to use it. Have heard great things.
