Not sure about everyone else but I love the whole CGR line up. The cork, guides tho on the 7/8wt I wish had bigger guides... the color and all around appearance just fits.. love to know what everyone else thinks of these... cheers!

I have the 7/8 weight which is my primary rod for small stream bass fishing. I also have the 6’2” 2 wt and the 50th anniversary 4/5 wt. They are all three nice casting rods. For me 4/5 wt likes a 4 wt weight forward line and 7/8 seems to like my Cortland 7 wt weight forward peach. I also like the color and the appearance.

There are 33 threads on the forum whether others have given their detailed thoughts on these rods.

Nice! The only one I’m missing is the 2wt... such wonderful rods imo.

Thanks for that Bulldog :)

You asked so here goes. There isn’t a single CGR I would spend even the small price Cabela’s is asking because I don’t think they are even worth that. I would save my penny’s for a better rod. The notion that some folks buy every model because they are so cheap boggles my mind. I would rather have one decent rod for the sum that would cost. Before some of you start bashing, the OP asked for opinions and that’s my opinion. Let’s not rehash what’s been said before because that’s all available in past threads as Bulldog wisely pointed out.
