Spend a bit more on a Maxcatch or Aventik and get a far better nymph rod complete with protective travel tube. A no-brainer. Not that I'm biased against cheap rods: I have both the 10' 5/6 and 9' 7/8 versions of this rod that I bought specifically for float tube and kayak fishing, so wouldn't be using my good rods and get upset if they were lost by being dropped in deep water. As far as the loose ferrule is concerned, lubricating all ferrules with paraffin candle wax will allow them to be seated better and less likely to unintentionally come apart.

Excellent video. I had the joint problem on my Shakespeare sigma when it was new. Solved it by rubbing candle wax on the joint. 8 years later it still going strong.

My guess is 76. Don't know if it went off yet but would be good to have a spare and thank you Andy and Leva for doing this. So glad I found your channel and really like the tutorials you have and the explanation of what you are doing. I got into fly fishing late after I retired and trying to do a lot of catching up but I do tie my own flies and doing my best and really enjoy it. So again thank you Andy and Leva (great camera work) and it is great to see you both on the water having fun. Im from the US and glad I found the channel searching Euro Nymphing. Great Job and best of luck with the channel.

I myself bought a budget rod from maxchatc 11TF 3 # for about 65 €.
haven't had the opportunity to test it yet but look forward to it. to see your movies is inspiring thank you.

Another fab video you two well done ! I know I have mentioned this before but I would love to see you do a pike fly fishing video and maybe followed up with a tutorial video and casting, the gear, fly tipes etc etc and maybe some ideas on some rods reels to get people started. I have some gear but putting it all together and using it is a different matter. I would like you two to do this as you do have a great nack of explaining and demonstrating things on your video's.

I'll go with 175 nymphs. I enjoyed the video, nice watch. Shows how you can catch fish on pretty much anything.

My expensive hardy regularly parts company at the joints, great channel

[kevinbucknall]

The 10ft 2# rod from maxcatch is £20 more but excellent quality and a rod tube

[fliesbychris]

It's a decent rod for someone trying out fly fishing for the first time but I prefer my 7# 10 ft airlite v2 for fishing the lochs back home, another great vid Andy and I.B, keep up the good work!!

[justinkilpatrick]

I bought a max catch for 90 usd I don’t no what the conversion is but it’s a durable rod and light as well keep up the great videos tight lines

[alltroutdout]

hey man, what waders are you using? love the style of it

[yessir-flyfishing]

Very nice and useful video! Decent job Andy! Cheers from Finland. :)

[joshhodgson]

Not about this but i know a place in Derbyshire where it’s full of pike and perch and barely anyone fishes there

[billrollinson]

Thank you for all this great content. How are you able to fish 7x droppers without them wrapping around the standing tippet? You’ve mentioned using tippet rings for your droppers, do they work that well in preventing this? Thank you.

[justFishing]

Thanks again Andy for this video i was looking for a cheap nymping rod for my friend who is starting out i use a greys and courtland 10 foot 3/4 looks a decent rod for my style of nymping i use the tear drop indicators i just like seeing the take like dry fly anyway I guess 159 nymphs

[pissoff]

122. I use cheap rods and often catch more fish than the guys I'm fishing with who have top of the range gear. I put it down to the fact I'm always trying new things, rather than just sticking to one tactic.

[mralanvideo]

Advice please m8 got £100 for Xmas wanted full fly kit what would you recommend looking at Shakespeare

[darrelwhetter]

Enjoyed the video had some nice fish on the rod 🎣🐟

[jesusmarin]

I’ve been thinking about giving fly fishing a try, I’ve got a lot to learn about it though

115 nymphs

Good video, i liked how you mention that this rod exposes your cast and, it showed that you are a pro Andy. I mean no disrespect to IB and i'm sure i would be in the same boat, the difference was very clear between you. A normal setup in your videos does not show that stark difference in cast efficiency. I thought of this as a good tool to improve my cast and if i come across a 3.5ft rod in the future at a reasonable price i might get one...+ it might be more usable fore my Daughter :)
