By VF from Woodinville, WA on 09/03/2009 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Flexible, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a really gorgeous rod, well designed, packable, a joy to fish with. My only gripe is that, while it came marked as a Baden Powell Special Edition, it did not have a Rosewood reel seat - the reel seat was a satin black that looked just like the rest of the rod. I guess that's not really a big deal on such a lovely rod, but if they're going to advertise exotic hardwoods, then it should have just that. Otherwise, a great value - you will love this rod!
By Avalanche Fisher from Rancho Cucamonga CA on 08/09/2009 Pros: Accurate Casting, Durable, Easy To Transport, Flexible, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Large Fish, River Fishing, Small Fish Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have owned this rod for several years now, and it performs flawlessly. I generally fish for trout in streams with a few lakes when I can. I usually go after trout but recently have started fly fishing for Bass and use this same rod. I have caught fish up to 10 pounds on it with ease. I love the sensitivity of this rod! When you catch small fish it feels like it's a big fish, when you have a big one on it's just amazing! This is only the 2nd rod I have owned, first one was just a cheapo but once I knew fly fishing was for me I bought a better rod and this one caught my eye. As for any cons, I have none.
