4wt | 7ft | 2pc | bamboo fly rod | T&T Midge

Love this rod! It’s a fine rod without the high cost of a custom bamboo rod. I’ve used it in small to medium sized streams and it handled a 13” rainbow just fine.
It allowed me to fish bamboo without breaking the bank

I ordered this rod that came yesterday. Spent the morning on my local pond casting poppers for bass, and this fly rod was very impressive. It easily performed as well as my name-brand rods...

So far rod has done well, have gotten some decent fish on it.

This rod is very sensitive, perform well for nymphing and for dry fly. It's probably going to be my favorite rod for trout fishing.

Very pleased with quality.

Excelente relación precio calidad

Exactement ce que je m'attendais de recevoir. Excellente qualité.

This review is for the 5wt model.
I own quite a few fly rods - Phillips, Montague, Redington, G. Loomis, etc. The caveat here is that over forty years of fly fishing I've used a bunch of stiff, non-compliant sticks as we as a few excellent rods. First off, I prefer bamboo over graphite or glass. I also like a midium action rod. Finally, I've moved from the more robust 6 and 7 weight sticks over the years to 4 and 5, and ultimately prefer a 5 weight. The action is moderately slow, so if you're used to throwing fast action it's going to take a few casts to get used to the more leisurely action of bamboo rod. No worries, though: it's worth the patience. Fishing for panfish on a 5wt is loads of fun; hook a bass and let it run for a while, don't muscle it in. Spooky trout? No worries. I find a DT5 line with a nine foot leader/tippet and a small dry fly will present on still waters or running very gently. This is my favorite fly rod.

Very nice rod, just fished it 1st time, really love it.

I love it.

Exelant bamboo fly rod.
I have cought several red and silver salmon with it here in alaska

Rod tip arrived broken and delayed. Did manage to get a refund promptly which was great.

Fantastic fly rod used it twice so far, works great with a DT3F line,casts great at 20 feet to 50 feet. thank you Mr Zhu for this great fly rod

took it out for some shad fishing on the american river were i live,caught 8 shad most above 3-4 pounds,and if you dont know about american shad..they are very hard fighters..i even did not use my 9 foot 6 weight flyrod i brought with me,that day..this is becoming my ' go to 'shad fly rod now

Love my rod great quality!

Have not had a chance to try it out yet, but if workmanship is to determine casting performance it will be great. VERY beautiful rod. This will be my first cane rod, can't wait to actually try it out. Think you!

Quick service for the distance it had to travel. Rod looks and feels great, but a true test will be this spring on a small mountain stream.

Very satisfied with.the rod this far. The finish of the cane , the wrapping and the ferrules is just nice. Can’t wait till spring comes when it’s time to try it on water. For the price this rod is hard to beat!

Well finished rod, from cork handle to wraps to varnish. Wanted a 5 footer for small creeks, this should do good.

Exactlyt as I expected. Casts great!

Rod arrived, exceeding all expectations. A well crafted fly rod,can’t wait to use. Just because they seem Inexpensive doesn’t mean they are cheap, don’t be afraid to acquire one for yourself…

My first new Bamboo / Split cane rod, had a few to choose from but the Paul H. Young Para 14 looked like a great rod for the price. I also bought a reel and some silk fly line.
Looks well made and I can't wait to get a fish on...

I’ve received my order, which arrived well-packed and quicker than expected. The rod looks great, with no visible flaws, and feels just right in the hand. I'm looking forward to using it for dry fly fishing for grayling and will be able to give a more in-depth review after that.
Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for an excellent job!
