Summary:
Too much money for a regular result. It lacks of sufficent stamina( a medium flex 7.0)Sometimes the four pieces become appart. The reel also jump out of the reel seat without cause; it requieres frequent surveillance. Not a pleasure.

Summary:

I thought this rod would be a good light flats rod but it just didn't have the power & I guess it's not billed as a saltwater rod anyway - I guessed wrong. Some rods feel like magic, some feel good, & some feel OK - this rod was just OK. I traded it in on a 2wt. superfine which is excellent.

Customer Service:

Excellent!

Summary:
This is a great rod for trout and light steelhead. It has good power and handles large fish well. The action is fast and accurate but it could have a smoother feel.
