I am looking for a cheap priced small dry fly rod for fishing my local little river this summer. Is the fladen vantage worth buying even at such a low price ?
Any help from people who have used this rod previously would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Go buy it! You won't regret it! I have the 7ft, #3,weight, it's my back up stream rod! Although, I do use it every month or so! For the money it's brilliant! Use the search! You'll find lots of information on the Fladen Vantage Rods!

tahnks mate i think im going to get it

The 7' 3# gets my vote as well ... not just because its stunning value for money but its such a nice rod to use, as Mostyn says, you wont regret buying it!

Not a bad little tool. Don't expect the rings to last too long though. I find mine best with a #4 line.

I have one, and i find it a great little rod bit stiff in the lower section but fished with a 4 wt casts fine even with my some times kak handed casting, i use mine all the time as it is my only rod.

I'm considering the Snowbee 6ft, not an outrageous price either for a lifetime guarantee:

I had one for a while,great price but i found mine a bit stiff for short casts.
Have a look at the Shakespeare Trion,a bit more money but i think a far better rod,i love my 7ft 6in.
But not as much as my bamboo!

ive had the 4# 7ft rod for about a year and can honestly say its a crackin little rod. £20 well spent, actually baught it on me dinner break from work to fish a small river and now mainly use it for everything. i havent touched my 9ft 6 rod in ages which i paid alot more for! handled everything ive hooked well, even a 9lb stockie rainbow!
go buy one, you wont be disappointed one bit!
