I've just acquired a delightful little Greys GRX 7' rod from one of the members of flyforums. Although I do have a 7 footer this one is a little more refined and I will be looking forward to trying it out next season.
This rod will be just the ticket for small rivers and brooks such as the River Ecclesbourne. I have had a GRX previously this was a 9'6" #6/7 which always fished nicely on venues such as Foremark or Thornton. In my opinion these are extremly well made rods and when I saw this one up for grabs I did not hesitate. There is a lot of bunkum and tripe about fly rods generated by advertising and fashion, you do not have to spend hundreds of pounds to find a nice rod that will last you many seasons.

ReplyDeleteI swear by my Greys rods all 3 of them, especially my 10' #2, which will be out for Derbyshire grayling shortly.
ReplyDeleteWow, a 10' #2, those Derbyshire ladies will put a good bend in that!
ReplyDelete7' is just an ideal size for small brooks.
