As two-handed casters, we search for that one rod that can do it all. A rod that can chuck heavy sink-tips and turn over big flies and still feel groovy and easy going with a floating line and a small fly. A rod that can handle a big hot chrome fish, but will still feel fun with a 5 pound summer fish. A rod that won’t punish you when your casting sucks (everyone’s casting sucks from time to time), but throws laser beams when you’re on. Does this rod exist? NO – however.
We have often been asked what rods we fish our self – Hereby some rods we know and therefore highly can recommend
