There's nothing like the supple, easy-to-load, full-flex feel of a fiberglass fly rod. The first time you connect with a big fish on one and feel it all the way down into the cork grip, you'll be hooked. That easy loading ability also makes it perfect for short casts in tight quarters on small streams. If you love technical fishing with small flies, the soft flex will protect 6X and even 7X tippet while absorbing strong runs from beefy fish. Finally, it's a great action for learning how to cast.
