Nice Fast Rod - Good Value By jmshamgi from W.V. on 08/11/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought the 4-weight, 9 foot, 4-piece rod for a very resonable price. I took it to Idaho and Montana . I used both 4-weight and 5-weight floating line.
It is a fast action ( tip-flex ), smooth casting rod suited best to good/aggressive casters. It handled both lines well. It cast very well, ( except when using the largest hoppers, Chernobyl Ants, attractors, or streamers on very windy days - then I had to take out my 5 - weight rod ).
It looks good.
It's reel seat is a little tricky to get all sizes of reels in to.
