Meiser rods are awesome, lots of feel...the new blanks are quite light and crisp. You can customize them any way you want and they have plenty of options for you to pick from. Some are almost to pretty to fish! I think Bob has a model that is designed for Pike fishing. If you want something that you can beat the $£|¥ out of go with a Loomis.
anyone have experience with Meiser rods?
I’m considering having a switch rod built for a good boat rod as well as pike fishing.
compared to Winston or Loomis or other “off the shelf” rods, how do they fish?

I have an 11ft 7wt. Meiser Switch Rod.
It is my favorite North Umpqua summer rod. It casts and fishes beautifully.

Yes, I think I’ll do that for sureJust curious, did you ask Bob about sending you a loaner?? If you’ve never cast one, for the price of shipping, it’s an easy way to check out the action and components
And when you do, unless there are some extraordinary circumstances they will fix it right away if you need it. I broke a tip after dropping my wading staff on it in my back seat in the dark. I sent them the relevant parts the next morning on the road, and picked up the replacement driving through Medford like three days later.What SL2 said.
No warranty per se, but you break it, they'll fix it, for a reasonable repair charge.
dlb : your opening question had me choking on reflux saliva. I'll save you hours of searching the Rods forum: Meiser rods are flat-dab beloved in the spey community. Probably Burkheimer enjoys comparable brand loyalty, as do some individual models of other brands.anyone have experience with Meiser rods?
