Paul Shultz Commentary:
"I first met David, ADG's founder, in January or February of 2003 and purchased from him my first two rods, the #5-6 and the #8-9. Then I booked a trip to NZ in April of that year, taking my son, age 25, and so I called up David and had him send me a second #5 for his use. I use this rod more than any other and almost always keep two of them along with me, dry fly for one and nymph (or streamer) for the other. I have fished with this in fresh water all over the world, including all over North America, in the Himalayas, in many countries in Europe, including England, France and Austria. Great rod. I mostly use a #6 line with this rod, but sometimes, especially with streamers, use a #7. It is a little light for salt water, so I don’t think I have ever used it there. This I think would be the go to rod, the perfect rod for virtually all NZ fresh water fishing.
