Performance: tippy, light weight, lots of power but the Rod is not a 6w, it's. A true 5w that inspires confidence. Excels with Scandi lines but will do just fine with skagit heads. Once you have a little time with the Rod, it's consistent and will deliver on demand all day
Materials: top notch, great aesthetics, downloading lock with double rings, nice touches all around, light weight, strong, simplistic, great amount of cork which I appreciate
Lines: This Rod will throw a 300 Scandi from my house to yours all day. It can land a large heavy clouser with delicacy. It rockets with little effort compared to deep flexing rods. Making the day less exhausting if you are out for hours on end
Complaints: price. I bought it new for $500 but it's retail is more than twice that. Aesthetics are simple but could be dolled up for those tat appreciate that type of craftsmanship.
This Rod is awesome. Just awesome. Ten inches bend the Rod plenty but you could summer steel just the same. It's really a great length and beauty of a stick. I'd buy it again and I will buy the 6w spey big brother. It will haul 100 feet no problem
It helps to have great fishing company
