Orange is the new black


This is my new fiberglass, 4 piece, 8'6" Maxcatch 6 weight. It comes in four colors.



I chose the orange because it is the most flamboyant.


I don't know how they can make such affordable  fly rods



Here it is matched with my ATP 37 semi automatic fly reel, loaded with the Orvis
Hydos Bank Shot fly line.
