Cobalt

This is one of the best rods I’ve fished at any price point. Buy it! You’ll be glad you did.

After trying my friends Cobalt 7 wt I had to have one. It is an amazing rod for chasing smallmouth bass. These hard fighting fish are a thrill, and the Cobalt’s light weight and backbone allow the angler to enjoy every pull. The fast action has tons of power for casting larger flies on windy days. I can see myself adding a 9 wt to my collection for Great Lakes salmon!

This rod is a Swiss army knife! It can do it all. Reds, snook, trout, and tarpon (up to 50#) are no match. It will also handle bones and permit down south. It shoots line like darts and is very light in the hand.

I guide for Redfish and Striped Bass in the Chesapeake Bay. The day I tested this rod, I purchased 3 and removed rods twice the price off my boat. This is the most accurate and efficient rod I have ever used. Quick and accurate shots at moving fish and sinking lines is where I see it stand above all others.

As a guide in Biscayne Bay for over 25 years(kinda hurts to say that) I have cast many brands of rods. As well as my own, customers are always excited for you to cast their rod and tell them what you think. So I have cast the most expensive to the least expensive rods. I have to admit that I am a fast action snob. Power is essential to deliver a large or small fly at any distance and in windy conditions. The Cobalt absolutely meets that demand! For an easy to travel with 4 piece rod and for the price you just cant beat it. Besides being a powerful rod, the rod components are exceptional. The guides are high quality and one of the things I really love are the reel seat locking nuts. With the large diameter and deep groves you can really tighten the reel down so it won't move or loosen up while fighting fish. If you are debating a more expensive rod try this rod first. You can't go wrong with this rod!!
