Any one have any experience with Wade rods? I've been curious about glass lately but i'm not looking to spend $500+ on another rod (yet). 

I can't tell if these are actually good rods or if they just have fancy marketing.

No experience with Wade Co. But I think District Angling normally has a couple of Butter Sticks in stock and they have a decent price point, i have a 3wt that i just love. But if you want to go real cheap try a Eagle Claw Featherlight. They are like $40 and a lot of fun. Also the Cabelas CGRs are pretty cheap.

if you haven't already check out thefiberglassmanifesto.com

Ah ya I forgot about the Butter Stick. I might check that out. I'm not trying to go super cheap. I was thinking about the $200-$300 range.

Check out the fiberglass manifesto.  Cameron has a lending library and you might be able to try before you buy.  

Cheers,

We’re out of the Butterstick.  The only one we’ve been stocking is the 476-4.  I was also going to suggest calling Cameron.   You can drop my name personally – Cam and I are buddies, and his site is stellar.

 

 

Regards,
