Using both my spiderwire line or #3 LL the rod loads effortlessly and i was able to be accurate. Within a 5" circle. Either i have become great at casting junk rods or this rod is fantastic.
Probably all fiberglass and plastic. Yet is a 270 weighing in at 2 oz.
I casted both weighed and unweighed flies. They cast with equal accuracy.
Definitely a rod for beginners, children, and whomever is like me and not ashamed to fish a rod where function is more important than form or bragging rights.
It might be a while before i field test, but i will update this thread when i do.
I bought one of the AliExpress rods that Tristan had showcased in one of his videos. After waiting for two months and it not arriving, I got a refund from AliExpress. For my grand total of $2.88.
Guess what showed up yesterday, in a plastic baggie, no padding, cracked at the mouth of the first section…
Thinking I’ll do a little rod wrapping to reinforce, then give it a whirl on some local bluegill.
