This is a great dry fly rod, and a great small nymph rod as well. There is something about the Winston action that is difficult to describe, though the Scott G-series gets in the ballpark for this sort of rod. With many higher tech blanks available, this Winston design still recognizes the needs and nuances…

Winston Vapor Fly Rod Review
Winston has for years produced their rods (bamboo, fiberglass, graphite) for the mellow, medium to med-fast caster who values the highest quality design and aesthetics. IMHO, their Vapor represents the essence the company, and especially in their 5wts. I’ve had several Winstons ranging from 3-6wts, but I grab my trusty 8’6″ 5wt 90% of the…
Thomas and Thomas Horizon Fly Rod Review
Matches perfectly with a Mastery Series GPX line. This rod is a work of art. Thomas and Thomas needs to get the word out about these rods!

Scott SAS Fly Rod Review
A handsome well made rod, will do anything on a stream except point to the fish. Strong butt section fights big fish easily. If I sound like the Scott catalog, its because everything they say about this rod is true. I believe it is the best 5 wt. in its price range. I would think…
Scott G Fly Rod Review
Scott is one of the kings of medium-action flyfishing rods. I use it (9′ft. 2 piece) to present flies to one of the harder fish to catch…..large wary goldens easily spooked in crystal clear water…and it is a joy to fish with the Scott. It also makes catching the smaller fish a bit more fun…
Sage SPL Fly Rod Review
This is a great rod. I use it both for small creek fishing and for dry flying fishing on large rivers. It has a medium action but with a surprising amount of backbone. It casts larger bulky dry flies like size 12 stimulators easily and of course is good for a small midges and bwos….
St Croix Legend Ultra Fly Rod Review
This rod is an outstanding value. I have the newer Ultra Legend in the three piece. Used it for Northern Pike, Atlantic Salmon and more recently caught 30lb + Chinook Salmon on it…performed well under trying conditions! Several friends who tried the rod have now purchased one themselves for travel. If you are going to…
G loomis Gl3 Fly Rod Review
I purchased this rod for bluegill and small stream trout fishing and it has worked great for those purposes. I can throw tiny flies very softly, yet this rod still has enough guts to throw bluegill poppers. It is without a doubt the most comfortable rod that I have. The smaller grip on this rod…
G loomis Glx Fly Rod Review | Streamdance
This is the lightest 4 piece rod I’ve ever used! It is the best all around pack rod on the market! I use this rod with a 20ft sink tip line and it casts great. It also loads well with a WF#5 distance taper. Very smooth with a nymph and indicator. Butt section strong for…
Winston IM6 Fly Rod
This product inspires greatness. It is sooo sweet. It is a dream to cast, on both still water and streams, with both nymphs and dry flies. This rod has made my 5 weight 9 foot practically redundant. Related Posts:No Related Posts
