It is a fast action rod with good sensitivity. Very versatile, great for saltwater and freshwater applications.

Too heavy to make really delicate dry fly presentations to summer steelhead.

Nothing I do can be described as graceful or delicate. Flyfishing for me was a violent swing between bliss and teeth clenching frustration. However, my RPL+'s fast action matches my aggresive casting style, handles the November waters of the Pacific Northwest, and can put the brakes on a good size salmon with a heavy current at his back. This is a muscular, athletic rod. If you need more finesse, you are a different kind of fisherman need a different rod.

Excellent. A replacment for my broken parts were in my hands less than 30 hours after sending them away.

Heavy enough to really fling large flies. Great feeling action for fighting bass.

I have found none.

This rod is a real powerhouse for casting large popping bugs, streamers and weighted flies for smallmouth and largemouth bass. I have it strung with a weight forward nine-weight line for surface fishing, and will be using a shooting head system for fishing suspended bass down to 15-20 feet.

Customer Service

To date, I have not needed their warranty service. When I have called for information, I have always been treated with courtesy and respect, and have received useful information.
