I am looking for a rod to fish the feather river for salmon and
steelhead. What are the best rods out their? Is the adg titan the best
rod out their? How does a orvis t3 compare? What about sage?

What about warranty? How much will the rod cost to fix if a fish breaks
it? What if I break it on a car door?



One: It's all a matter of taste. "Best" is relative, and there are many
fly rods that will do the job here.

Two: You're not talking about delicate fishing here. I chose to save my
money and go with a St. Croix Pro, lifetime warrantee, $100 out the door.

Three: There's a movement to use long two-handed rods for this type of
fishing. I can almost understand why. If you go this route, you might
need to spend more money.

Four: Many rod manufacturers offer unconditional warrantees on their rods
these days, and will basically charge shipping, if that, to replace a rod
damaged by any method. Loomis is the big exception that I know of, and I
think they have a $65 replacement fee policy. I don't now about adg.
