This rod is probably the best I have ever had for the money. I have a 5wt and a 8wt and use both every week.

Such a sick rod
By Benjamin
Received my rod quickly took it out and caught many fish the rod handled well and was very sensitive

I have the nymphster 10’ 4 weight (Brown Trout) Rod. It’s very well made. Very sensitive. And very light weight. Which is great for tight lining nymphs. I have caught close to 30 trout on this rod ranging in size from 9”-14”. You can feel the lightest bite with this rod. Definitely recommend this rod. I look forward to using more Wade Rod Co rods in the future.
