Moonshine Rod Company Co. The Outcast Series Saltwater Hybrid Fly Fishing 8wt 9' 4pc blue

Great product

I have been coveting and looking at Moonshine rods for a while now as I really love the designs and attention to detail. No clue as to how good they were as actual rods. So when I saw the Outcast II 8wt come available during one of the large sales I didn't blink and ordered a rod for an upcoming trip to Mauritius.I am not joking in saying this rod will make you look like a pro! Every site cast literally placed the streamer or dry fly (yes dry fly for bonefish, who thought it!?) within a foot of where I was casting and layed the line perfectly EVERY SINGLE TIME! I landed some small guys, but the action on the set and keeping the hook set all the way to bringing the fish's in was flawless.So in summary, an amazing rod which is light but has some awesome power and an amazing discussion provoking design!

I'm afraid I haven't got a chance to use it yet, because the reel I ordered (from a different company) needs to be upgraded to a larger size. But when I unpacked the Outcast and put it together, my housemate and I oohed and aahed over it as we slashed the air in my living room. Really nice. The only thing I wish to be different would be a case that includes a space for the reel. But it's a nice piece of work and, yes, I'm the guy that emailed you about dreaming about setting this thing up with line, and knots and superglue, etc....I'll get back with a better review in a few months.But curse that red tide here in central western Fl. I can't keep any trout, redfish or snook. Well, guess I'll be looking for big tilapia or maybe the odd pompano, which I have never caught.Keep up the good work guys and gals.Eric

Well made great color too.

i cannot believe the quality of this rod. in my hands it feels better than rods 3 times its price. plus a lifetime warranty and an extra tip section included. i also have a more expensive rod from one of the big boy companies. the tip broke and I sent it in for repair. the repair is 160.00 bucks plus a 3 month wait time. I'm going to sell it when it comes back to me. my next rod will be a moonshine as well.
