This 5wt 8ft Rogue edition Fly Rod is a high performance slow to medium action fly rod that will out perform any of the competition at a fraction of the price. We believe that a good fly rod shouldn't break the bank and we've spent years perfecting the look, feel, and performance of this rod for that reason! This fly rod looks good, feels good, and out performs any of the $800 and over fly rods you see on the market now. From our hand turned real burlwood reel seat inserts to our custom designed cork grip with custom inserts this rod is top of the line. We didn't forget the most important part either, the rod blank! Here at Outlaw we use a custom blend of fiberglass that allows for better casting ability and accuracy. By using this custom blend we are able to create the perfect fiberglass rod that is great for dry flies and situations where delicacy and accuracy are required. You will love the feel of the fiberglass fly rods, they are tough smooth and have a fuller flex than carbon fiber/graphite. These slow to medium action fly rods are great for dry flies and situations where delicacy and accuracy are required.
These 5 weight 8 foot Fly Rods are one of the best all around fly rods you can get. They aren't too heavy that you lose all sensitivity and they aren't too light that you cant land the occasional big fish. They are perfect for medium sized rivers and lakes with medium sized 2-6lb (10"-18" fish) and the occasionally larger trout, bass, panfish, etc. They are very versatile and can be used an array of fishing techniques and locations. If you are looking for a good "general" rod this is a great choice.
These 5wt 9ft fly rods pair well with the Outlaw Fly Line and the Qualifly Maverick fly reel. If You want to upgrade your reel, the Qualifly Razorback has an awesome look and feel.
