Douglas DXF 10' 5wt Rod
The DXF rod is like no other 10' 5wt rod. Rod has the power to lift line while providing a solid hookset without breaking light tippet. I was looking for a Nymph rod which would provide the above mentioned capabilities. The Douglas DXF does not disappointment. Highly recommend this rod.
Very versatile rod
I bought the 9' 6 weight to pair with my DXF 8.5" 4 weight and I like this taper / rod weight even better. It's not super fast and loads a Rio Gold WF6 line easily at my normal 20-40 ft casting distances and is perfect for my spring tributary fishing with indicators and tight-line nymphing. What I like the most, besides the looks and light swing weight, is the backbone it has for big lake-run rainbows. Landed a 25" fish on it this spring and it had plenty of power to turn and control the fish.
My new favorite rod
Absolutely gorgeous fly rod. Swing weight is super low, feels like a wand. Paired with an Orvis Battenkill click and pawl reel and it is the perfect small stream trout rod for my area. First time out, I hooked and landed a nice fat brown trout. Casts accurately without feeling stiff.
Douglas DXF Fly Rod
I have purchased a Douglas DXF fly rod a couple of years prior. The performance of the Douglas DXF made my choice easy to purchase another DXF.
Very happy with purchase
I read a lot of good reviews on this rod saying excellent value for the price point. I am not disappointed. The rod looks great with the deep green blanks, nice wood burl insert and dark metallic green reel seat hardware. Compared to my cheaper entry level rods, this 9' 5 weight is super light in the hand and casts more accurately at around my normal 30-40 feet range. The rod tube is good quality as well and I'll be looking at Douglas again the next time I want to upgrade a different fly rod in my collection.
