The Wade Rod Co.Reviews of thewaderodco.com

Wade Rod Company was very supportive, and easy to work with. Considering returning because the rod was really an impulse buy, but Wade Rod Company has been great to work with.

Good over all experience. The reel was incorrect when shipped the first time. I had a 9wt the next week. Review of the products: after 16 hours on the water 9wt Bendero. Great handling rod. I would guess closer to 9.5-10wt handles weighted/unweighted streamers very nicely. Casting Rio saltwater general purpose (know to be heavy) Fast action medium heavy Spine. Lots of back bone! Handles back country reds nicely. Had 18-25 mph winds this weekend. 75+ feet cast where the norm. Pelican Large Reel. Work of art!! Great finish and light! 300 yards of 20 lb (round) Dacron backing and 100foot fly line. Drag is smooth and constant. Max drag in a bit low for my liking guessing in 6-8 lb range. That said the “swamp donkeys” I hunt are know for low gear power. Palming the reel slows them down. Cranking knob could be a touch larger and textures for saltwater use. Slimy hands make for sore knuckles. Over all very happy. Great tool and a fair price.

I haven’t had the chance to use the rod yet but oh boy I’m itching to. I purchased the BadFish x Wade Bendero 9wt and its everything I wanted. Can’t wait to take it to the coast this summer!

Subscription plan is quick, simple, and easy. I grabbed the badfish bendero and it’s a gorgeous rod and I couldn’t ask for anything more from it.

Great rod, great price, fast shipping can’t wait to catch my first fish on this great rod!!

Love thier products and being able to buy a higher quality rod without the huge upfront cost is amazing will definitely be a repeat customer if they make a slower action nymph rod.

This 10' #4 "Nymphster" rod was a step up from my old shorter, stiffer #6. I fish a canal with steep high banks. Down at water's edge, I needed a longer rod with more flexibility to get up and over the banks on my back cast. The rod is everything I hoped for and expected at a fair price compared to retail fly shops. I also appreciate the "club" financing plan.

I recently bought the Tide Chaser 9ft 9wt for bass and carp fishing. This is the lightest rod I have ever held and the action is fantastic. Its absolutely incredible! I really cant wait to take it out. The only reason I haven't given it 5 Stars is because I haven't taken it out yet. I still need a fitting large arbor reel to go with it.
