The Weirdest Fly Rod I've Ever Seen!

The Weirdest Fly Rod I've Ever Seen!

The Reddington Vapen is honestly the weirdest rod I've seen today. Reddington decided that it would be a good idea to partner with wingtips golfing. They thought they would would be smart and create a grip that relaxes a fisherman hand while allowing him to fish all day. What they  managed to do was actually create a somewhat flexible stick with a comfy grip. The cast weight is heavy and the action is slower than expected. For all the hype that this rod created before its release it's a bit of a disappointment to the advanced fisherman.

Now that being said let's talk about why this rod doesn't suck. For the entry level fishermen this is a wild, new age rod that will get the job done. It is comfortable to hold for long periods of time, which makes it great for beginners. At first it might be hard to hold the rod on the stream for over 8 hours. Until you get use to the feel of using a fly rod the golf grip will really help.

The slow casting isn't something you should worry about when you start fly fishing. My first rod was a P.O.S from Walmart that could barely cast half the line. Until you learn how to properly cast a slow action is ideal. It forces you to focus on form and build wrist strength.

Over all this rod has multiple advantages and multiple disadvantages. For an entry level fishermen this is the perfect rod at the perfect price. For an advanced fisherman this rod would be like selling a Lamborghini so you can drive a Honda Civic. That being said use what you think is comfortable. If you pick this rod up and decide you love it then use it. No one's going to stop you.
