Fishing Rods & Reels

Fly rods

HAWKRIDGE COLORADO 9’6” #7 Review: a no-nonsense stillwater combo that actually feels decent on the water

• Rod blank is genuinely decent: fast action, good casting power and nice fish-playing curve
• Comes as a complete kit with pre-loaded reel and a solid hard travel case
• Very good value for beginners and intermediates looking for a stillwater/reservoir setup

Spinning rods

Berkley Flex Trout Spinning Rod Review: a very soft light rod that’s fun but a bit whippy

• Very light and comfortable to fish all day with a 2000-size reel
• Soft parabolic action and solid tip help keep trout and perch pinned on thin hooks
• Good sensitivity to small bites with braid and light lures
