Description
I recently got a new fly rod from Risen Fly, and of course, I had to take it out fishing!
This is their new M Four Nineteen, an 8'6" 4-weight fly rod with a light-to-moderate action.
Unlike some of the stiffer, fast-action rods available today, this one has a softer, more relaxed feel when casting.
You can really feel the rod loading, which makes it easier to understand the timing of your cast. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's easier to cast. Softer rods can be less forgiving when your timing is off.
That's actually one of the things I enjoy about them. They encourage you to pay attention to your casting stroke and presentation.
That softer action can also be nice when presenting dry flies, and it gives you a lot more feel when fighting smaller fish.
I took the rod to Blanco State Park here in Texas to see how it performed on the water, and managed to catch a few fish along the way.
I'll be sharing the full fishing trip, along with my thoughts on the new M Four Nineteen, this Thursday!
