First Smallie on the fly! My first decent sized Bass on the fly in general. Constantly impressed by what this $75 dollar fly rod gets me. Matter of fact I’ve exclusively been using this rod since I started fly fishing, I just haven’t had any reason to buy a new one yet. (Amundson please sponsor me)
