Rocky MTN "RIO" Care Package

Solid!!

After having the rod for a month and close to 50 fish caught I have zero complaints! I’ve had several fish snap 3x tippet and the rod came out just fine!

My 3rd fly rod and first tenkara rod

Caught 4 bluegill in the span of 45 minutes with it. nice sizes too. Easy to cast, fish, and retrieve.

Big water Tenkara rod

A unit of a tenkara rod. A little on the heavier side, with a sriffer, faster action. This rod is my favorite for great big hoppers and dries (and as untraditional as it is - a hopper/dry dropper setup). Heavy weighted nymphs, and #10-#12 beaded woolly buggers, smaller non-articulated streamers, and Pat's rubber legs. Seems like a lot of rod for smaller flies, but maybe I haven't found the sweet spot with line choice for 'em. I really prefer to cast this rod with a furled, tapered line.
