I've heard people call Redington a "cheap" brand. They're a less-expensive brand, with great quality. My casting style seems to work better with their actions. I can afford to buy the bigger (read: more expensive) brands, but I've got multiple Redington rods in various weights for the above reasons. Great review!

2 rod companies I always recommend to beginners are Redington's and TFO. TFO because of the warranty but you're spending a bit more than the basic redington. The first fly rod I purchased for myself was back in 2006 and it was an old Redington 8ft 4wt for small streams and I still have it.

Thanks for the review. I thought the Redington Vice was a good rod for the money and I love the way it casts, but every time I put a reel on it, I’m irritated by the cheap reel seat. Either the reel is loose or I have to crank it down until I feel like I’m going to break the cheap ring that holds the lower end of the reel foot. This one looks far superior to that.

@mcglothlenchris4212 I havent tried the 8 wt, but I tried the 5wt Path II and the 5wt Field Kit. I dont know if the path rod I received was a lemon, but it could not cast the line whatsoever. I even switched the line out, was still terrible. Was frustrating because I spent soooo much time trying to learn on the path, I thought I was just a bad caster, but everything came to life as soon as I tried the field kit. It was a dream, smooth as butter. The redington video regarding the wranglers mention this new wrangler rod is built the same as the field kit rod (just the rod), so I ordered it to try it out, hoping for the best!

I don’t care what you can or can’t afford or if you think a rod MUST have a heavy price tag and the most expensive guides and reel seat/insert money can buy..If you took this rod out of my hand and didn’t look at the make and model and just took it for a 30 minute test drive, brought a few fish to your net, you would almost certainly think that you had a rod that cost well north of $500 in your hand.
