"Fit and finish were excellent and the action was as described. I put on a reel and headed to the Susquehanna river to test it out. After a few test casts it shot the entire head in 1 move, I then tried to shoot line and it went out like a cannon. My wife and I have been so pleased that we have purchased several different rods for the family, and my wife wants the 7 wt spey rod for Mother's Day."
