Cortland

Only one use so far and it casts beautifully. Nicely constructed, handsome piece at a great price.

cant buy this product in aus for the price plus postge

Folks, I found these Cortland Endurance fly rods to be perfectly adequate for lake fishing. On the trips I've made since I received them, I've found that they cast well and they cast accurately. They have plenty of backbone for handling strong, feisty trout in the 18-22" range. Several fish of this size were landed and I saw nothing to indicate they could not handle larger fish. The uplocking reel seat is strong and secure and the cork is quality cork. My only problem with this rod is Cortland's "swirled, translucent, olive metal flake finish". This translates, in my opinion, to the ugliest finish I've ever seen on a fly rod. On a bright day this finish glimmers like a greenish/yellow 9 foot Jedi Light Saber! I kid you not, it's bright, funky and would be more at home in a night club! Wear your sunglasses and hope for overcast conditions! Beyond that, it seems like a quality product that would last for years.

perfect backwater line for reds and specs would reccommend to anyone from beginners to avid flycasters

this is a great line for warm coastal waters . purchsers will get great value out of this line .

I "over lined" an 8 weight rod with this 10 weight line and it loads the rod nicely with a slower stroke and casts well with low line memory. A stripping basket was used to control the running line and tangles were minimal. This high viz orange floating line handles well and I am pleased with it's performance.

Cortland 555 is a great line; long-lasting and casts well.

Good distance casting, slick with low memory in cold water

Great all around fly line for turning over big flies in the wind

Smooth casting line with little memory
