Love it. My stepson went through the same thing except he started with an old eagle claw rod (one of the ones prone to having the tip fall off after a bit), then an eagle claw graphite, and then my Dad gave him a FF706. Whole new world for him now. He caught his first native brookie on our last trip up to NH. I can't wait for next year. My wife seems more onboard with a more "river-centric" vacation and less "tourist stuff". So hopefully there will be more wet lines and gobbled flies for all

I took one of my daughters out trout fishing last year (we couldn't make it this year due to weather and other things) and she used a Sage SLt, which seems softer compared to my other graphites. We were out there all day and she got some casting down and caught fish on her own. She loved it and hopefully will get out with me this fall. I've got a glass rod coming to me soon that I'm hoping to take and have her try. I think that it will help her and she'll like the feel, like Bulldog said.

Now you need another FF805.

That ff805 is a terrific trout rod! I seriously regret selling mine. Glad you put a
Nice rode like that into your son’s hands.
