…..some time. Anybody buy or used one for any significant time ? How is it? Just curious on some real input vs shop owners and dealers 😛 …... so?

Thinking of one has a gift to a family member.

I briefly cast a 9ft 5 at. on the lawn at the Maupin Trout Fest. I thought it was a very nice casting rod for the money.

They’re awesome. I really, really, want to buy the short 4wt, but I need another 4wt the way I need another 6wt. The 9’ 5wt would be a great gift no matter their skill level. For example, my 7yo casts and fishes it well, but as he gets more experienced he won’t outgrow the rod but find there’s more in it waiting for him.

If you want to try it, let me know. I’m just north of Seattle, but I could ship it to you on your dime. Fish it a while, then send it back.
