The Rod’s produced by Tom Morgan are in a calibre all it’s own. Each and every one is tuned to perfection before it is let loose on the river. More to come about Tom Morgan Rods…

Pen fishing rod review

Ok I know this is not a fly fishing rod! But it is a pretty handy little tool that would probably fit in the glove compartment of your car. What angler would not love one of these even if it is just a novelty. I recall seeing some video of a guy fishing for small mouth bass with a similiar rod So who knows.

Review of the New (for 2009) Scott A3 Fly Rod

Review of the New (for 2009) Scott A3 Fly Rods and Harry discusses where he feels they would best suit his fly fishing needs. A nice entry level rod a bit firmer than the g2 series. Very versatile. The A3 in the lighter weights have a very sensitive tip as well. Medium fast action available in a 2 piece or 4 and available in the 3-10 weight. Nice performance value rod for the money American hand built quality. MSRP ranges from 295$ for the 2 pieces to 495 for the travel 4 pieces. The Scott A3 fly rod is affordable but personally I prefer action of the G2 but at half the price in some cases it makes its own statement.

Intermediate modulus graphite single layup rod
good quality cork
the real seat is a machined aluminum anodized silver
super hard chrome snake guides with SiC stripping guides

Same lifetime warranty as the rest of the Scott quality rods.

Sage z-axis fly rod review

Nice review of a great product. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these z-axis fly rods. Thank you Leland! The z-axis is following the XP one of sages most successful lines and a pretty tough act to beat.

Ok I finally tried one out and it is lighter than the XP and a retty forgiving rod even on longer casts. If you like fast action rods give this one a try.
