RedingtonClassic Trout Freshwater Fly Fishing Rod - Moderate Action 4-Piece Fly Rod - Case Included

Light weight. Good quality. Cast wells and plays fish well. Good quality for a decent price.

I own a lot of rods, heavy on high end graphite and classic split cane. I wanted a good all around 7w that wouldn’t break the bank and opted for the Path II. I’ve got it paired with a Lamson Liquid 3 pack - bottom line is this is a seriously nice rod for any price. The performance is comparable to much pricier stuff, and that’s no bull. I’ve used it for sea run cutthroat, steelhead, and trout, with wff, sink tip, and full sink lines from Rio and Cortland - the rod has very impressive power and balance - it’ll throw a line a long way, and also handle delicate, in close presentation remarkably well. I couldn’t be happier.

Casting with the greatest of ease. Yeah baby!

So far I’ve caught a couple fish using this rod. It is very light, and sensitive. It has a classy look with easy alignment dots. I like that it breaks down to 4 pieces. The rod handle well and I am pleased with my choice as a beginner fly fisherman.

I have Sage, Orvis, and Winston rods but I rarely use them. I purchased a 8'6" 5wt Classic Trout for a backup rod. Now I have a 6,5,4, and two 3wts.Ive been fly tying and fishing for 50 years and the older I got I began appreciating a more moderate action rod because I enjoy the play and feel of the catch, which I don't get with a fast action, stiff rod. If you're a beginner or a novice this rod is what to buy. Being able to feel the backload of your cast is critical for accuracy and distance. Im guessing people who buy fast action high-end rods can cast 70 feet but who needs to cast 70 feet. This rod can help one learn to cast properly and eventually will send your fly 50 to 60 ft with a 9ft 4/5wt....and you'll be enjoying the feel of the rod when you play your fish, remembering to not play it too long so you can release him humanely, allowing a fellow fisherperson, the same experience.

Bought this rod as a temporary replacement rod ,while waiting on another to be fixed . The fly line does catch a bit on the rod loops but not noticeable ,and will smooth out after little use . An excellent starter rod reliable yet cost effective proving that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other .

Only used it for about an hour before I had to end my trip early, but by FAR, the best fly rod I've ever used. Super smooth and light.

I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A FLY ROD BREAK.My father introduced me to fly fishing when I was an early teenager. Even though I saw reviews on this rod talking about rod breaks, I assumed they were catching really big fish. In all my years of fly fishing in Kentucky for bluegill, crappie, and bass, I’d never had a rod break.Today, I caught a nice size bluegill (irrelevant) and then in throwing my line back into the water my lure got hung in a bush. It didn’t come loose easily so I had to pull hard to get it loose. I wasn’t too surprised when the leader broke in trying to get my popper loose, but I was quite surprised when the rod broke.Just do the math. You pay $80 for a rod that lasts less than two months. I don’t know how much my dad paid for those back in the day, but I’m sure it wasn’t a lot because we were not wealthy.

長年、セージのローンチ2ピース76#3使ってました。同じような調子で4ピースを探してましたが、国内メーカーだと#3ロッドのグリップはシガーの短く細いタイプになり、どうも手に馴染まない。コスメのカラーリングは独特で好みは別れる所ですが、個人的には好きです。ある程度風がふく中でも力のあるループでキャストできました。また、バックの取れない所でDループを駆使して枝奥にキャストするのもいい感じです。円高でセージのエントリーモデルすら手が出ないので、この価格でこのアクションはおすすめします。
