Pros & Cons
Pros
Action is a crisp medium fast, which i like for everyday trout. I like it using a dropper rig where it lays down the flys like a feather hitting the water.
It’s durable works well. Happy with flex and accuaracy.
The rod looks great and casts very well. It loads then propels the line through the guides so smoothly you need less effort to cast. Light enough where i feel the sensitivity of the line drifting in the water yet.
The cork is aaa and sanded to a perfect wells grip. Well made cork grip, excellent rosewood reel seat.
Cons
I guess you get what you pay for, such a shame as it was a beautiful and decently balanced rod.

As other reviews have stated youd have no quibbles if youd spent 300 on this rod
One can spend nearly any amount on a fly rod
Shipping
Delivery was fast as always and i will recomend it to any fisherman
Delivered in a timely manner and as described
I assume with next day delivery it cam from a local warehouse so no damage and it looks fine
Packaging/appearance
Showed up in just a 4x4 box no padding or bubble wrap
Comes in 2 pieces and a fabric bag for transporting
Competitiveness
I doubt they are so much better than the crisium as to justify spending 5 to 10 times more
I cant wait to try it out on the pm and the rouge river to see how it compares to my other fly rods
