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...

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.
Hi Phil, we're thrilled to hear that the ZHUSROD Bamboo Fly Rod has become your favorite! Your detailed review really captures the joy of fishing with it. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

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.
Hi Daniel, we're glad you’re happy with the service and the rod! Best of luck this spring on the mountain stream — we hope it performs perfectly. Thanks for sharing your experience!

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.

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...
Hi Malcolm, we're thrilled to hear you're excited about your new Paul H. Young Para 14! We hope it brings you many great catches. Thanks for sharing your experience!

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!
Hi Pavel, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with your Sir Darryl Special rod. Wishing you great success with your dry fly fishing for grayling. Enjoy every moment on the water!
