I have that rod almost 2 years now. It casts well in tight spaces and where most of the trout are likely to be under 16 inches it was enough backbone to handle them. It's my favorite rod overall under 7 ft ( I think I have 4[crazy]) It went for $99 when I picked it up. I have a 7ft 2 wt Clear Creek that cost me all of $39 a decade ago. It casts tremendously for a little rod. Just a little too long for extremely tight places. I don't think these very small rods need to be expensive to handle well. Save the money for bigger rods were it makes a much bigger difference.
