great price for a legendary product.

I use this on a mid flex rod. My tendency is to rush the cast, so I think this line can shoot farther than the 70 feet I am reaching. The line is very smooth and does not loop on itself. I use this for lake and river fishing.

Good fly line, however was tangled up on the spool, had to spend 1/2 hr untangling before I could put it on my reel.

Very good rod , I use this in fresh water with dry fly.

Good for small streams to medium rivers and alpine lakes

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.

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.

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.

Very nice, attractive, functional rod.

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.
