Product Description
If you fish the tributaries of the Great Lakes especially the Salmon River in New York or if you surf cast flies to East coast stripers this is a rod you want to take a closer look at.The length of this rod is its best feature. The 11 foot length and medium fast, mid-flex action can shoot a lot of line with ease. Once you get the cast out, the length helps you to keep your line where you want it. After you hook up, the leverage from this rod keeps you in control of big kings and big stripers. The length of the rod acts like a huge shock absorber to protect your fragile tippet when a big fish takes off with your fly. The use of IM8 graphite in the construction of the blank keeps this rod relatively light so a day of hard fishing is easier on your casting arm.Other features that make this The rod for places like the Salmon River are: 1) the built-in measurement device for complying with the 48 split shot rule (Salmon River, NY regulation) 2) an extra reinforced ferrule and 3) a special tip top that helps protect your rod if your line is wrapped around the tip and you hook into a fish.This is a rod for the fly fisher that does not want to make compromises on the way to catching a big fish. It is a rod for BIG fish on the fly. Have you ever lost a trophy because you broke the rod at a ferrule? This rod is two pieces to reduce the number of possible failure points from ferrules. The River Run has only one ferrule - and it is extra reinforced.This rod delivers results to give you confidence when you are after trophies. Try these rods and there is a good chance they will become your favorite rods for chasing big fish.

Has potential September 13, 2008
This is a great looking rod, but the problem I encountered was that it was very tip-heavy. The reel I put on it wasn't the heaviest, but even so I had to do some major modifications in order to make it balance correctly. I think a few tweaks in design and this could be a good product.
