i kinda remember j. kennedy fisher fly rods being on the soft side. they built a high quality blank, i've had tuna and surf rods and they were top shelf products.

It didn't say J. kennedy ...just Fisher. It feels pretty stiff to me . Stiffer then the (only) St. Croix 9 wt fly rod I own. The set up looks top shelf to me, seat, guides etc. look very nice...nothing cheap. Its that bronze Ron Arra color.
I think I am going to pull the trigger,and see if I can also get a decent large spool reel now for under 300.

I have a number of JK Fisher rods in surf spin and surf conventional and I love them all and would be truly heartsick if I ever had the misfortune to break one. I have fished with several JKF Flyrods over the years and thought they were great rods they compared to my LOOMIS GL3 rods in many ways. I would buy it if you think it fits your needs.

Why even try.........
