The Winston Derek Brown Favorite is a 15' rod that is available as a 7/8, 8/9, 9/10 and 10/11...my favorite is the 7/8 (I do believe it is the best rod made) and the later generation 8/9.

The Derek Brown is a such a wonderful rod to cast because for one the rod is not line sensitive...it is truley amazing all the differnt line sizes you can put on this rod and the rod still sings!

But most of all, this rod is the best on the market because the nature in which the rod just casts itself!...the more you 'hit' the rod, the more work you put into the cast, the less the rod truely performs.

Accerlate back to form your D-loop and give a quick acceleration on your forward stroke and watch the line fly...

The rod is also a very moderate action rod...you can really feel the rod load...yet you quicken your stroke or slow down...either way the rod will rock as long as you dont hit it!

Because the rod has a beefed up tip section, it has no problem throwing larger flies and sinktips...and the rod's butt is beefed up as well, allowing you to pick up 90'-100' of line without the rod becoming overloaded or collapsing!

Plus it is probally the most beautiful rod on the market!!...just ask Fred!
