I purchased 3 rods 2 X 7' 3WT and 1 X 7'6" 3WT. I used the rods in a number of conditions some from rocky, brushy conditions requiring a number of casting techniques. The rivers were the Lower Red River (NM), Rio Costilla (NM), Upper Red River, (NM), Coyote Creek (NM), Latir Creek (NM) & Lower Mountain Fork (OK). I'm a seasoned fly fisher using both Orvis and TFO gear.. I purchased all MaxCatch, Rod, Reel, Line, chest packs and fly boxes. The rods come with a tube and tie-able cloth rod pouch that fits in its host tube. The rods assemble using dots to line up guides, I found the dots to work well and the guides lined up nicely. Each section is marked with WT and Size so you can differentiate each section if, like me, you find the price point so irresistible that you buy three. I also liked that I could get everything on desertcart and avoid the crowds of Cabellas, and high prices of Orvis. The action on these rod are really good - if not better and similar for rods that sell for hundreds more.. Comparable to my Orvis Clearwater or TFO Lefty Kreh. For my experience the line glided effortlessly through the guides and the action of the rods provided a great feel on both back and forward casts. In fact I found that at times I could get as much energy than the afore mentioned rods. Given the brush on the banks and tight quarters of smaller streams, the setup gave me just the right finesse and power i needed to put flies in any pool, run and hole. Customer Service: I had written a prior review about an issue with customer service. The quick back story is that my 3 rods were caught in a mishap with a power window and negligent driver who decided to roll windows up without looking and (yours truly) and "crack", 3 broken rod tips. This was a bit of a gut punch considering we had only hit 1 of the 4 streams we planned to fish.. After a quick field fix with some glue and rod tips that cost some loss in action and fod feel - I got busy working with MaxCatch customer service. They were extremely responsive through desertcart. Unfortunately I was using my phone to communicate and think some of my explanations were lost in translation. I waited a couple of months before writing my initial review. Almost within the hour of that review, they promptly contacted me again and we figured out that my beloved iPhone hadn't sent pictures of the parts they needed which helped convey the parts I needed to replacce. Once MaxCatch understood I needed new tip-top sections, they allowed me to purchase new sections for $14 a piece. Compared to what some "lifetime guarantee" rods charge for replacement parts ($30-$50); this - yet again - was a complete BARGAIN!. I received the new parts about week from purchase, acceptable considering these were special order. The delivery of the parts came in a nice tube, reinforced with foam with each tip suspended in its own section of foam. The tube itself was wrapped in a foam tape adding to the protection of the parts. I was able to replace the tip-top sections and now have a full setup for small stream fishing using entire MC gear. See my reviews under their chest pack, fly box, fly line and reels. Review: Great value for beginners - I'm a fly and mostly have experience with spin rods, so take my review with a grain of salt, but I've taken this out with me a dozen times or so and it's been all good experiences with it. For the price it seems to be a great value. If you're interested in getting into fly fishing but still a little unsure and don't want to go all in on an expensive name brand, I think this is a great purchase to feel things out and learn without investing too much. Very happy with it so far. ## Features - Designed Perfect for Small Stream Application.

For the price it seems to be a great value. If you're interested in getting into fly fishing but still a little unsure and don't want to go all in on an expensive name brand, I think this is a great purchase to feel things out and learn without investing too much. Very happy with it so far. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully-made, inexpensive, small stream rod, most effective with a line-size heavier *by H***N on May 25, 2017* I have compared this nicely-finished, light fly-rod with several others that I have of similar length and line weight. Typically, going up one line size allows one to cast more precisely because one is casting with a short segment of line even though these line weights are judged by a 30 ft. length for their weight-class. A 2 Wt. line, 30 ft., weighs 80 grains, but one is only casting the first 15 or 20 ft., so one needs 80 grains to load the rod properly. A 3 Wt. line, 30 ft, weighs 100 grains. So, effectively, 20 ft. would weigh about 65 grains, and still allow one to deliver fake flies in a delicate manner and allow proper loading of the rod for casting. For clear waters and wary trout, it is better to deliver a lighter line than to splash the water with a heavier line. Many line manufacturers overweight their lines by one-half size heavier for the newer graphite rods that require a bit of an overload. This rod is not a high-end, springy, premier grade item, but the price is attractive and it casts well, if overloaded a bit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/418598587-maxcatch-ultra-lite-fly-rod-for-stream-river-panfish-trout](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/418598587-maxcatch-ultra-lite-fly-rod-for-stream-river-panfish-trout) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
