I got this rod on close out at a local tackle store and I love it. I own a Fenwick which retailed for as much as this Albright, and the difference is night and day. The Albright is crisp and light.

I bought the 9wt version of this rod for a back-up on a recent trip to Mexico. Fortunately I also bought along a St.Croix because the Albright's tip broke off during our first ride into the mangroves. Best I can tell, the vibrations from the boat (panga) broke the rod tip. The St. Croix and a Sage (both stored alongside the Albright) made it without issue. Never even got to cast it on water, but from land seemed a bit stiff.

Rod has great line handling capabilities, with either a 10 or 11 wt line, light enough for a day's fishing, and if one avoids high sticking will keep the rod and tip intact. Stripers and False albacore work well with the rod.
