I did the subscription plan and within one week got my rod. I ordered the streamer express 7wt, and it is a great casting rod. Used it for cahronamid fishing with a strike indicator and also used it for large beadhead streamer and it throws better than my orvis rod. Just wish they would come out with some 9'6" rods.

Fast shipping!! Although I have not been able to use the rod yet I am very pleased!!!! Nice rod, the reel is amazing(awesome drag!) Can't wait to go fishing!!! I will give an update after I use it a couple times.

I ordered 2 hats almost a month ago. I contacted them immediately because I accidently had one shipping to my billing address and wanted to see if I could get them shipped together. It took a few days and finally received a response that the items already shipped. I received two emails with tracking numbers. I received one of them. Then, nearly 3 weeks later, someone contacted me stating that the item was out of stock and asked if I'd like another item. I did not want another item and was extremely disappointed because this was a gift. I asked for a refund. I have contacted them SEVERAL times with NO response. The customer service is terrible. Why would you send an email with tracking information when the item never in fact shipped? Then, 3 weeks later tell me it didn't and ask how I would like to handle it then IGNORE every correspondence? If you'd like to maybe receive the product you ordered then be constantly ignored - choose this company.

I ordered my Dragon Glass 3wt and received it 5 days later, with email updates along the whole shipping process. Took it out on the water the same day it showed up and couldn’t be happier. Unbelievable flex and effortless cast.

I am so happy with my choice on geeting a new rod from you guy's. I am very happy with the quality of the rod and feel of the rod. I will be definitely keeping my business with you and refer as many people as possible to go WADE. Thanks

The rod came with a very nice case and was already setup with a leader when I got it. I went out the first day I got it and caught a fish! Great purchase.
