First fish on bamboo

#1

Post by KenBrown74 »

I tested out my Kingfisher last night and was not disappointed. I was able to catch 2 rainbows in about an hour. The rod casts great as it is. It is definitely different than my graphite rods. It is probably double the weight of my 9' 5wt.

What did you think of the fish on feel & the feel of the cast? How long is your Kingfisher?
