Review: This rod got an immediate workout overhead casting at Pyramid Lake. I liked it a lot for this job. Got to spey cast with a 390 skagit and the 375 Rio Scandi. This rod has been reviewed as tippy and more suited to indi and single hand overhead casting than it's competition. I found this not the case. It will cast sustained anchor and scandi casts with no problem. I did not find an adjustment to my casting stroke was needed. The Rio Scandi body is one of the best switch rod lines going and this rod loves it. Only criticism is the rod's a bit heavy and there's a lot of filler in the cork. But at it's price point this is not unexpected. Thanks to Gorge Fly Shop for including the 375 Rio Scandi body. It's a perfect match.

Review: Love this rod. Spey casts, especially a snake roll, effortlessly 70+ feet with a Wulff Ambush 5 wt and a 10 ft tip (versaleader or sink tip 30-80 grains). YMMV. Even casts a regular 5 wt trout line overhead OK. A nice alternative to a 5 wt single hand, especially for swinging streamers and nymphing.
