Aventik Whisperer Fly Fishing Rod 4 Pieces, 6FT 0/1/2/3wt, 7FT 3/4wt, 24T Corbon Fiber Fast Action Super Compact Freshwater Ultra Light Fly Rod with Cordura Rod Tube

Don’t sleep on Aventik Fly Rods!!!
Let me begin by certifying that this is an unbiased review. I am an avid flyfisherman and I use my gear heavily. A while back I decided to try one of the Aventik stalker rods and it proceeded to become my go to rod for trout in most any scenario. I fished it fro every thing from Coastal cutthroat her on the Claifornia coast to wild West Slope cutthroat in Idaho. After breaking my first rod I decided to try out the whisperer combo and I was not disappointed. This rod has the fit and finish quality of any big name rod out there, I love the burgundy blank, and has all the features you’d expect from a high end rod. It has a great bend and medium-fast action, but enough butt section to turn around an 18” in tight quarters when you need it(just had this happen a week or so ago)! Aventik also has customer service that exceeds that of many of the big rod companies in my opinion. When i contacted them they reaponed promptly and informed me thst I could replace any broken section of the rod for a $10 shipping charge, or $30 for 7day delivery.As you can see I have already put a lot of nice fish in the net with this rod, but lets not forget the reel. I found it also to be surprisingly solid. The drag has a smooth release and is relatively adjustable compared to a lot of low cost reels. It felt similar to an entry level Ross like a flystart 1. I had some small issues with clearance on the spool occasionaly, with the fly line passing onto the wrong side of the spool but with the quick release tab it was not a major issue. The fly line felt a little under weighted for my preference, but might be ok for dry fly fishing. I line these rods with a 4wt wf floating line, i find they cast really well with a heavier line that really loads the rod and do a lot of single hand spey casting in tight quarter streams.My only real complaint about this rod is the change to a non-thread locking reel seat. The reel did not sit tightly and I had to put some medical tape on the feet of the reel so that it would lock firmly, and had one instance where the reel came loose during fishing. That only happened once though in many hours on the water, but I moss the threaded reel seat of the Stalker rod.Overall, you need this kit in your quiver! The nippers are sweet, the rod case is also solid. Throw the flies away but the little box is sweet actually. This rod crushes the big name rodsreels that you’d pay $500+ to have the same gear. Aventik is solid, now order this kit and get out on the water and have some fun!!

Simple, to the point design
Bought this to have an affordable rod to keep in my truck to use when fishing spots present themselves on my travels. The rod is very light but also sturdy. Haven’t had a chance to fish with it but practiced with it some in the yard and very much like the feel of the rod. Some rods I pick up I just don’t like. This isn’t one of those. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an entry level rod that breaks down into a compact package you can put behind the truck seat.

Excellent flyrod for the price!
This 3/4 weight casts very well. I had no issues with the reel seat with the particalar reel I’m using as some had mentioned with the reels they were using in the reviews. If you’re looking for a beginner flyrod that won’t break the bank I highly recommend these rods.

Love the color🎣
Absolutely love the deep cherry red color! Rod feels great, can’t wait to take it on the water!
