31 Aug 09 Some Fly Fishing Rods For You To Consider

There are a lot of great fly fishing rods on the market right now and each have their different advantages. When choosing a rod, you have to consider the species of fish that you will be pursuing, the type of water that you will be fishing as well as the price range that you can realistically afford. Here are some of my favorite models:

The G. Loomis NativeRun GLX Fly Fishing Rod is a great rod for casting out large weighted flies to salmon, pike, bass or whatever else you may be pursuing. The G. Loomis NativeRun is great for long distance casting, line control and battling feisty fish. The rods are constructed out of GLX graphite, and the rod comes with a custom reel seet and Portuguese cork for the handle.

I must say that I am very impressed with the Sage Z Axis Fly Fishing Rod. My rod is a four section, nine foot five weight. The rod casts great and handles fish like a gem. This rod is more fast action than my Launch which gave me a bit more casting distance. The Z Axis is also extremely light weight.

The Sage Launch Fly Fishing Rod is another good one. The first thing that I noticed about this rod is that I was able to mend my line much better. I do a lot of nymph fishing and I like to get extremely long drifts and cover a ton of water (you catch more fish that way). Man' I was mending like a pro with this rod. My flies were getting long, natural drifts with tight lines. The next thing that I noticed was that I could cast farther and more accurately.
