I had a 9' 2 piece 5# tied up for me while I was gone and havent tried it yet, still waiting on a reel and line.

It feels pretty good, I put next to a 5# sage discovery series and the Rainshadow feels like its a little faster action.

It only cost me $125 so if its decent I cant complain. If its quality is anything like the other rainshadow blanks It should be a good quality fly rod.

Any expierienced fly fisherman fish one of these yet Id like to what you think about them.

Thanks.
