I have used this rod on the Tongariro River and night fishing at Lake Tarawera recently. It is certainly a step up from my old rod . One of the most notable differences is the even distribution of weight loading on the rod when casting. I only had one fish into the net so am unable to comment much on it's fish fighting capabilities. Hopefully my fish catching skills will improve so I can comment more on that area. Overall I am very happy with gift. Cheers, Phillip Buckthought
Got it studio built and loved it. Hit it in the back of the ferrule with a clouser cracking it. The new tip section I ordered is spot on and was the easiest and best rod repair that I have ever had done. Can’t recommend the products and service highly enough. Thanks guys
Already have a 690c The 890c is just as awesome!!! Don’t have to bother about the other rods now These are the go too’s
Bought this rod to start fishing salt water and don’t regret it. Love the quality of the workmanship and components. Very well sorted rod that feels light, smooth and has plenty of power. Will definitely be buying some of their other rods for the stable.
I used this rod on bones and like it. Actually, I used my 6 wt. 690C kit rod that I made for trout fishing more on the small bones while wading in one area that we fished and stopped counting at 12 bones. I am new to saltwater fishing and need a lot of practice on the double haul.
