Recommended Rods
I have been fortunate to make a career in fishing, and over the years I have demoed virtually every rod on the market. From casting new products at fly shops to trying different client rods on the boat, I do my best to know what every rod offers.
Although there are quite a few that I really enjoy, I have narrowed down my recommendation to what I believe are the best 3 fly rods currently on the market. As technology evolves and new rods hit the water, I will adjust these recommendations as needed.
That being said, you cannot go wrong with any of these 3 choices and I will personally own them forever.
Hardy Zane Pro
Great rod for fast casters who still want a lot of feel. Very light rod that is easy to cast all day.

Gloomis NRX+
This is the fastest rod on the market. Great for casting in heavy winds. Rod does not have a lot of feel and is very stiff.

TFO BVK
Exceptionally great beginner rod. This is the fastest rod in this price range. Build quality does leave something to be desired.
