I’ve been buying wade rods for years now. Even broke down and bought a pelican reel. The only regret I have is I didn’t buy the big one. I took the goat out last weekend. And the wind was horrible I spent a lot of time fighting knots on my vice rod. But none on the goat. It killed it

Very nice rod, balances well with 4/5 Reel

Everything came in fast and in excellent condition. I’m new to fly fishing and haven’t had the opportunity to use many fly rods for a comparison of performance but I can see the craftsmanship of the rod is impeccable. All the joints are snug but still easy to remove. The reel fits nice and tight into the handle and the rod itself just looks awesome.

I purchased the 9’ 9wt chaser, the shipping was fast, and the rod came in good packaging. Blah blah blah no one reads a fly rod review for how the shipping went. Took the rod out for the first time last weekend and all I can say is that the 9wt shoots lasers. I was delivering heavy flys with a single back cast easily and love the way the rod casts. Worth the money.. buy the rod.

I have been looking for a good 3wt to fish the Jocko river up here in Montana. The dragon glass 3wt was just what I needed. Ow if you guys got the 3/4/5 weight back in stock I could have a perfect match!

I purchased the 9’ 5wt Freestone for an upcoming trip to Montana. Delivery was quick and everything arrived in perfect condition. Tried the rod out and it casts effortlessly. Can’t wait to use it on my upcoming trip. I highly recommend Wade Rod Co.
