    SPRO PHAT FLY ROD?

    Looking for suggestions on a rod for the Phat fly. Not float n fly just the fly. Currently use a NRX 852S IT does decent. Friend uses a NRX 901S Which is probably the one but looking a little more budget friendly


    Thank you
    Chris

    ALX Rods ZOLO McSmalls is a very good option. Still USA made but more friendly to your pocket.

    Daiwa tatula or tatula ags 7'6 mml. Great rods for many different purposes, but will do what you're looking for very well. Personally, I would not recommend the mcsmalls. Alx are good rods, I personally was just not a fan of that rod at all.

    I have been pretty impressed with the 7'10" St.Croix Victory hair jig rod.

    Went with the Shimano Intenza. Haven't tried it out yet but feels perfect! 7'6ml. Will follow up when I get it on the water. Paring it with a Daiwa Kage 2500

    Its a really nice Rod, will be getting a second. The Elite 7-6 is really a great rod for puff balls also.
