Clearwater 8-weight 10' Fly Rod

4⅜ oz. 10', 4-piece, Fly Rod for 8-wt. line.Steelhead fishing requires constant concentration and never-ending line adjustments. Turn mending into an afterthought with the Clearwater 108-4. With an astounding reserve of power, the 10-foot length provides ample leverage to pick up large amounts of line, with a reach that transforms mending from a chore into a pleasure. Cast baitfish patterns over the breakers for stripers or swing streamers for steelhead through the winter. This rod can handle it all, in a lightweight and durable, yet inexpensive, package. Saltwater reel seat with cork-and-EVA foam fighting butt.

So far so good!,

"Bought this long rod mostly for small mouth fishing from my Outlaw Rampage. It casts about like I expected. Does not bottom out when casting large weighted flies but has a soft tip that allows you to feel the cast.
I'm fairly picky about gear but did not want to spend a fortune on this rod. I think I got very good value for the price and I'm quite satisfied."

Just Keeps Getting Better,

"I updated from my 5 year old Clearwater to this year's model and like the title says...it just keeps getting better. I fished the rod long hours every day for 6 days on the Gaspe area Atlantic salmon rivers, and the rod performed flawlessly, including landing a 12 pounder in about 10 quick minutes. GREAT buy for the money!!!!"

"What an excellent rod for the price. I bought this rod as a backup for steelhead. Only had a chance to use it twice so far on the tribs of Lake Erie for Steelhead. It casts great and handles great. The rod preformed excellent landing three 8+ pound Steelheads."
