great product for big fish

By Beachfly from New York on 04/28/2009

Pros:
Accurate Casting, Durable, Good Tip Action
Best Uses:
Ocean Fishing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Fisher
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

Broke before being cast!

By ml77 from Concord, MA on 02/19/2009

Pros:
Easy To Transport
Cons:
Breaks Easily, Poor Construction
Best Uses:
Fly Fishing, Ocean Fishing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Fisher
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

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.

Great Rod - great price

By Greg from Strafford, NH on 08/25/2008

Pros:
Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Flexible, Good Tip Action, Sensitive
Cons:
Breaks Easily
Best Uses:
Fly Fishing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Fisher
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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. It cast really well and just feels good in my hand. n my third trip out with the rod (and first actually hauling in a fish), the tip broke about 6" from the top. [...]

Nice casting rod, good looking. But first and last fish, rod couldn't withstand the fight. It broke in two places on the top section. Disappointed it didn't come with some kind of warranty.
