"I purchased this rod for my husbands first Fathers Day and it was a great 1st fly rod for him! He has used it in the streams of NC and PA and has even carried it on a plane with no trouble. Loves it!"

"I received a Clearwater II 864-4 as replacement for my Clearwater I 905-4 which had some snake guide issues that they couldn't fix. The exchange was REALLY quick and easy with no fuss and they were more than happy to replace my 905 with a slightly different model at my request. At first I was apprehensive about losing my trusty Clearwater I 905. I liked the wood reel seat and earthy finish. Upon opening the new 864 I was sold. The finish is beautiful, the cork is smoother and with fewer blemishes than my $600 Sage Z-Axis, and the carbon reel seat is slick. The new rod tube is a welcome improvement and goes along with all the other improvements over the first generation Clearwater rods. The only thing I miss from the Clearwater I is the compartmentalized bag. I don't like taking the whole tube out on the water and It's nice to have something to keep the rod together and protected. After it arrived I was on the water within 20 minutes, eager to give something new a try. I'm used to fast action rods so this new mid-flex would be a new experience. The only line I had around was 5wt left from my 905-4 so I popped it on with a black gnat fly. It casts beautifully! I was able to rocket some small flies way out. The action was so natural I didn't even have to think about it. It was very delicate, even with the 5wt line and I can't wait to get some 4wt on it. While I have much more expensive rods with faster action that will chuck bigger flies further out, this is my new favorite for small trout streams, and spooky fish. Beautiful rod and it takes the Clearwater category to a whole new level."

"This rod in not only a beautiful looking rod but a great fishing tool. This rod has done it all for me here in the east but also handled some lighter work while out in Montana recently. Thanks for letting me stretch my fishing dollar."

"This rod is what I look to everytime I am out on the stream, I was looking for a good price and found it in this rod. It casts smooth and has plenty of power for that long reach. Great deal."

Great inexpensive rod!,

"I just recently received this rod and have spent 4 days with it on the small streams near Boulder, CO. This rod is amazing for the price. It is delicate enough for great presentations of small dries yet has enough backbone to throw some heavier flies and make some long distance casts. There isn't a better rod I have ever cast for this price."

I'm amazed,

"I'm amazed at the quality of the Clearwater II 864-4. I own 2-piece rods by Winston, Sage, and Scott and while I love these rods, the Clearwater 4 piece does not take a back seat to any of them. Light, precise and surprisingly powerful (for a 4 weight) it does everything I want it to. I bought it for travel but it has ended up my favorite trout rod. I fish a spring creek locally but the 864-4 does just fine in the pocket water of the San Miguel in SW Colorado, dead-drifting nymphs through runs."
