"My favorite rods are the 17'0'' and 16'1'' They are absolutely superior when it comes to covering water, controlling the fly and line correctly. I get less fatigue of using the 17'1 than for example a 15’0 rod which for me I have to use more energy to cast, when conditions require it. The material in the 16'1 and 17'1 rods, makes them so light that even an old man like me, can walk for weeks without getting tired and worn out."

"Exceptional mono shooting line! Probably the best I've ever tried, and I have tried lots... I use the Hazumi 40lbs, this mono shooting line will be used on all my heavier two handed rods."

Nils Olav Brekke, Norway

"The graphene impregnated resins within the walls of the ORIGINAL-series can be felt compressing on a molecular level, through the cork grip, as if they’re speaking to you during the cast, telling you the exact moment of optimal load. The REN-series feels as if the rod becomes one with your hands and arms, where the load can actually be felt in your bones. You become the REN rod, almost a “pairing process”"

Chris O'Donnell, Bend fly shop

"Original 15.7 Rod thrive best from medium-sized to the very largest rivers. It feels light in the hand and thanks to its deep action with a quick recovery, this rod suits the vast majority of casting styles. The timing of the cast does not always have to be perfect. It takes very little power to build up a high line speed. The stiff top helps you lift the heaviest sinking lines, regardless of whether you're wading or on land. Thanks to the length of the rod, you can easily control both line and fly in the right way for both the longest casts, as well as the short ones."
