Wild Water Fly Fishing AX Series Fly Rod | IM8 Graphite Blank | 3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/12 wt Rods | 5’6”/7/8/9/10/11 ft | Lightweight Pole Medium Fast Action

According to there description I thought I was ordering just a regular 10' 3 weight fly rod which is what I wanted for float tubing.When I opened the package I found out it's a euro rod, which I don't need. I already have one.I seemed like a well built rod and I wish I had known about this before I bought the other one.I returned it but next time I'll check out there site when buying a rod. Amazing prices.

Kudos to Wild Water. A great travel rod for someone that needs to fly to Muskie country, the Caribbean or Alaska. This is a very fast action rod that feels like my 9 wt and can cast big flies. At $62, with only a soft case, it’s in my opinion a great value. This is a rod that’s all about fishing and knocking around. You can make a hard case out of PVC or the like. I am giving this to my son who wants nothing more than to catch a Snook on a Florida beach next month and would like a rod that fits in a carry-on bag or day pack. To test out this concept, I ordered 3 different 8 wt travel rods (7 or 8 sections) from different manufacturers that were all under $100. This is the one for someone who needs a wind busting, really big fly casting rod (probably with 9 or 10wt line). I would recommend all 3 of these travel rods. The other two are lighter with more of a 7/8 wt med-fast action. While there may be another travel rod somewhere like this Wild Water 7 piece rod, I am sure it will cost you the price of an expensive first class ticket. This rod is unique and well designed for its function, a travel rod for big flies and/or big wind. It’s a great rod and an exceptional value.

I was so eager to see my new 11ft 7wt switch rod that when I got home and open the package I was left with a wtf!! The 2nd second section was thicker than the bottom one where the reel goes and the bottom one was glossy while the other ones were paled. I then proceeded to buy the 400gr Switch line directly from wild water to match it with the rod and then bought a 9/10 reel and went out to give it a try and we'll the pictures shows the results. I was having a little problem casting as a switch rod beginner but then everything fell in place. For the price and durability you cannot find it anywhere else and I'm hooked on this switch rod.... Don't be a fool and try to haul a fish in because chances are you'll end up braking it. I'm one satisfied customer 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

A good value for the price. I take it backpacking and like taking a rod that won't cost a ton of money if I break it. The action is a little slow for my taste and the reel lock tends to work itself loose. But overall, a great rod for my intended use.

Update- If/when Amazon credits the cost, then I will be satisfied with the Customer ServiceOriginal- Bought Two 12 wt. 9 ft. rods- One broke on the first Salmon Fought (approx. 20 lb. King/Chinook out of Ontario). The other one broke after 5 or so hook-ups.... I feel completely cheated on these; I bough them in August to be prepared for an October trip. I had no way to use/try them until the trip- but the return window is closed. These are absolute Garbage!

Well I haven’t used the fly rod yet, except some practice on the front lawn. I really like the look and the feel of the rod. This review is more about the customer service. The rod was delivered Sunday evening, there was a problem with the handle section. I messaged Wild Water late Sunday night, Monday morning Heidi from Wild Water replied and asked for my mailing address, Wednesday I received the replacement! I leave in a few days for hopefully a great fishing trip with my new rod. Thanks Heidi

Exactly what I needed.

Don't use the for fly fishing. Use it for flipping for kenai river sockeye salmon. Has large rod tip eye for knot and loop to slide through. Fast action enables hook set on larger fish and handling them to the net. Good quality rod for the price.
