Some reviews:
-“I picked up this rod/reel combo to use as a primary steelhead setup. I was instantly impressed with the materials, and balance of this rod. It casted extremely well under various rigs. Chucking-and-duck egg patterns, to slightly more delicate nymph/bugger presentations. The reel is definitely well built and sturdy enough to handle most normal usage. I caught about 9 steelhead on this rod, in varying conditions. It played fish well in deep pools, and shallow/fast pocket water. If you are like me and are looking for a nice rod to fill your quiver, I’d recommend this setup. It is a perfect selection for someone who steelhead fishes a few times a year.”
-“Took it out a couple times and it’s a good beginner pole. Don’t buy the super cheap sets with all kind of gadgets it’s not worth it. This set up is good and it’s a trusted brand.”
-“Great Orvis product! This rod/reel combo has a lot of value and works as well as any $1k Orvis.”
