"After reading a stellar review of this rod in a fly fishing publication and hearing anecdotal accounts from friends I had to see for myself. When I cast it for the first time at a fly fishing show I sort of stood there and stared at the rod for a minute....as in vapor locked. The people standing off the to the side of the casting area probably thought I was having a seizure! I kept reading the ROSS name over and over and then double hauling it into the screen at the end of the casting area.
"Wait a second, how much is this rod? NO REALLY? Is this the right one.....a hundred and wahhhhh?"
Without a doubt the greatest rod for the money I've ever cast. The 8wt is like a Leatherman Wave or a Remington 870....it will never fail you."
Advantages: ross stands behind the products, price
"Well made, crisp action... close your eyes and think of what you saved. It's not just a good inexpensive rod, but a good rod period. They hold up in salt water too!"
