Bravo.. Well done

Based on the many quality products that I’ve purchased from Cortland I had to try the new Guide Series fly rod.
This 8 wt is well appointed and checks all the boxes.
A fast action rod with great fit and finish.
I beach fish and need to pickup and cast a lot of line and this rod delivers. Not to mention its ability to put the wood to powerful fish.
You know how it goes folks. You put a reel on it and hold it, look at it and realize this rod will cast.
I’m not gonna write that the Guide Series rod is a great rod for the modest cost…It’s just a great rod.
