I was very frustrated with the line that I had on my 12'6" 6 weight switch rod. The rod did not load correctly and the line was falling in a ball in front of me. When I got the Wild Water line I had a little problem with the amount of backing I had on the reel as the line is 120' long. After removing most of the backing I was able to fill the reel correctly. Today using it for the first time for Stripers with a good wind the rod loaded as I expected it to and the line performed GREAT! I am very pleased with this purchase.
Heidi was prompt and diligent in ensuring the proper address was input. Package arrived on time and was carefully packaged. Hope to tempt some smallies, white bass, largemouth and whatever grabs a popper or streamer.
I gave these rods to a casting instructor to give to his students and had nothing of the sort even tough they lived on an Oregon premium steelhead river. I have not seen the rods but was told they were good rods.
These are the perfect rod for your youngster to get started with that is actually castable for their body size, they also make a great small stream rod for any angler. The quality for the price really impressed me.
