I love using this this rod and reel.
The rod has a great feel in the hand and I feel like I can launch my flies as far as I need them now. The only downside I've come across with the rod is the color. Based on the pictures I thought it would be more blue than it is, but it turns out it's super dark. Honestly it's not a big deal at all though considering how great the rod has been.
The reel has also been super nice to use. I never find myself having to adjust the drag like I had to do constantly with my old gear.
One of the best parts about this purchase is the warranty. I sent an email with my warranty claim and I had a replacement rod tip in the mail within a couple hours. And it arrived at my house what seems like the next day. Super awesome customer service. Not disappointed at all!
