I have a Cabelas Classic Glass Rod, my first rod ever, I also have a Redington ButterStick V3 and it is AWESOME! It’s all I use in Colorado. I can not wait to get my hands on the Orvis Glass this year. Early Christmas present for me! Love and appreciate your content, great video!
I picked up a glass rod a couple of years ago. It feels different, not bad, just different. You can tell that it loads differently, but is just as smooth as a lake surface just before dawn. I use it pretty much for dry flies that need just that light touch.
Thank you flip. I have been recommending glass rods to all newbies because they are far more durable and forgiving. Of course i have been ignored but that is ok by me. I still use some of my old vintage stuff and yes it is heavy by todays standard. I also use new glass for my warm water small gills and smb. Long live glass and slower rods.
@@Madriveroutfitters read thru the forums and see how many rods get broken and warranties are supported. Glass rods are far less prone to getting broken especially by newbie mistakes.
i got 3 glass rods 2 2wt and a 3wt. I had a 2wt graphite and just didn't like it at all way to fast. but the glass rods are great I do lots of extreme bushwhacking to get to some of the places I go fishing full on machete for 3 to 4 hrs . I tell you this I would have broken a few graphite rods this year alone and the glass rod lives for next season
I won’t buy an echo, regardless of how great the blank tapers are, simply because of how ugly they are. I will never understand how people can spend so much time making a product that functions extremely well, but then totally fall flat on the aesthetic aspect of said product. Come on Tim!
@@rons3507 lol it’s a product, not someone’s feelings. We need to push the manufacturers to do better. Look at any Scott, Winston, orvis, sage, etc and then look at any echo and tell me they aren’t ugly.
