What You Need in a Big Gun For delivering bigger flies, throwing longer distances, or chasing larger fish, anglers would do well to up-size from a five weight to the 1953 890-4. This powerful four-piece eight weight is safe for saltwater use, and can handle sinking lines, sink-tips, and floating lines without a problem. From Alaskan silvers to Delta largemouth, Cape Cod stripers, or Keys bonefish, the 890-4 allows anglers to expand their fly fishing horizons to some of the tougher fish out there.

This was my first outfit. I bought it specifically for Pyramid Lake. I love it it handles big fish with ease casts great. The customer service at Red Truck rods is outstanding.

I purchased two of these rigs for fly fishing off my kayak on the Bay in MD . I literally have caught 4 inch perch and 40” bass on it . It cast’s well , the handle is solid , it didn’t fall apart , rust , or fail in any way after a few trips in salt water , the action is good to feel hits , strip streamers or small plugs . It’s a great rod that has had zero issues for me and super affordable. It feels as good if not better than a G-Loomis , it’s a slightly faster action but still super responsive & if you get that lazy cast it won’t fall apart on you . The quality , feel
, look and performance I have got from this rod there’s absolutely no reason I would look elsewhere . Awesome set up !
