By dirkaz from Clemmons, NC on 08/02/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy Casting, Line Doesn't Tangle Cons: Loop is the add on type Best Uses: Fly Fishing, River Fishing, Small stream fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This line is really nice. It casts very well and the color change helps to gauge casting length.It also floats well. The reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because the loop for connecting is the add on type.It is included in the package.I purchased the 4 and 5 weight and will probably get 2 more.
By steck from vermont on 07/13/2009 Best Uses: Fly Fishing, River Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Certainly not the fit and finish of a high end graphite rod, but it makes a great backup/loaner/backpacking option. I like it best with a 6WF or a heavier 5WT such as a Rio Grande.
Good Rod for Intermediates By High Plains Fly Fisher from Garden City, KS on 06/28/2009 Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This rod is well designed. Use 6wt line for new casters. Be sure all sections are well seated and check every hour or so to prevent rod from coming apart.

OK medium action beginners rod. By giantbluemarlin from Calgary, Canada. on 09/03/2008 Pros: Easy To Transport, Price Cons: Action not tippy enough, Not stiff enough, Snakes not lined guides Best Uses: Cheap usable travel rod Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I have fly-fished for 25 years and use custom rods with a v fast actions. My Mrs wanted to get into fly fishing so I looked around and decided to try the Endurance as a cheap start. It is probably a good choice for a portable beginners rod. Way too soft for me though and the action is too far down the blank. I think for fishing smaller waters this would be fine, but if you routinely cast the whole line and then some on lakes or large rivers then it's just way too slow and soft. Seems that this can't be solved by altering line weight. So, as the rod is for the Mrs and she is learning, I am reasonably satisfied. If the rod was for me, I would have returned it. Perhaps the 9' would be better in 7wt to lose some of that extra flexibility. In fact, sawing the top 1' or so off this rod would probably make it fairly decent - if only that would work. I am also a fan of lined guides throughout and after you've used all SIC for a while, snakes just don't cut it. Construction and finish are generally good. Black guide feet (instead of gleaming, fish-spooking chrome) would also be better. Hope this helps.
By Sir "Fishalot" from On the shores of Lake Ontario on 04/23/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Large Fish, River Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this as a back up to the same model I already own and use on Great Lakes tributaries. Although not quite tough enough for salmon, this rod has tamed the biggest browns and steelhead the Great Lakes has to offer. Casts as well as pricer rods. If you fish the medium to smaller tribs, this rod will more than do the job. A Cortland "HOMERUN"! Images shared by: Sir "Fishalot"Nice Ontario Steel Tags: Picture of Product
