Awesome experience with Fin & Fire (As Always). Originally bought an 8WT and loved it. Ended up buying 9-12 sticks to complete the arsenal. Fast, accurate, and power to spare - Love this 9WT for larger Andros Gotchas when it’s windy. Awesome stick >>>><
Excellent Stick!
This rod should be illegal! Super fast, pleasure to cast the most accurate rod in my collection. Considering adding a couple more at the top end (10&12wt)
Wow! Deadly accurate.
I used it to fish for snook the last couple of weeks. It was windy. I am going to Bimini on Sunday where it will blow over 20 and I think this rod will be very useful in those conditions. It can be a two way bonefish – permit rod, and I plan to fish it with flies that work for both.
