gentlemang Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Anyone have any experience with Albright Fly rods? Looked at them and they seem interesting. Would like some feedback, if anyone has owned one, or fished one. How would they compare to a top rod like Sage or RL Winston? Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I believe they are made by the guy who started Redington. Never used one but would expect they are like the cheaper Sage rods, not the high end stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebuck Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 THey are much better than a low end sage- I have am A5 5wt and it is a great all around rod, well balanced smooth delivery - good for dries and decent for nymphing. It is my workhorse rod. It's also a 5 piece so it is nice for backpacking. It is not a super fast rod but has plenty of backbone. It has a nice soft tip for accuracy and I don't break many off with hook sets. I think casts better than winston but the cork and wrapping is rougher.... It is 10 times the rod a sage launch - Can't beat them for the price- but watch the shipping charges I seem to remember that bill was higher than I thought it would be.
