Quality Comparison
MSR Series

msrpage

 

The MSR Series is a smooth casting, powerful rod for lakes and rivers. Combining lightweight and medium/fast action tapers, you can quickly load the rod for quick and delicate presentations. The reserve power in the butt gives you the ability to hit the other shore with ease. This series
of versatile rods is superb to cast. REC premium nickel-silver reel seat includes Amboyna Burl wood inserts.

New for 2010 - MSR Nymphing Models:  All three models are 10-foot, 4-inches long, medium/fast action, and have the same high quality components as all MSR Series rods including REC premium reel seat with Amboyna Burl wood inserts. Available in weights 3, 4, and 5, any model can be ordered with or without fighting butt.

All rods feature our proprietary tapers, and a lifetime registered original-owner warranty. Every rod ships with a Great Bay Rod Company branded aluminum rod tube and rod bag. Great Bay Rod Company carefully inspects each rod for fit and finish and performs quality assurance testing on 100% of the products that leave our facility; testing includes, static deflection testing to insure precise guide placement, hand casting of all fly rods, and actual line weight measurement verification.

MSR Angler Reviews

I had a chance to fish the rod last evening for the first time.  It has gobs of power!  The rod I believe says #5 on it.  I used a Cortland 444 SL line with it.  Casting is easy with a high line speed.  It does dampen well. This rod will do the work of a #7 casting #6 bucktails, #4 wets and even #6 Crazy Charles SS hooks, weighted eyes and all!  I was able to cast this stuff a long distance with no effort at all.  When it came to dry flies and cursing rainbow trout I could get on them fast even at a distance.  It cast well up close also. When it comes to casting it is the best I ever had in my hands. The fit and finish is on a par with any rod out there and better than most.  The tip never once moved on me.  The cork handle is just right. The spacer and reel seat are beautiful and functionally sound.

Now about the new rod, which in a word is just excellent!  The first day I took it out, a vicious cold front had just blown through...and when I arrived the next morning , I was greeted by sleet and a 40 knot "breeze". It amazed me how far I could punch out casts in these conditions. Also, the line control of this rod was something I really was impressed with. This is perhaps the single best feature...and is a huge asset in these rough condition...no trouble casting small dry flies either and perhaps most importantly it handled a 2 pound trout with ease.
