Hi all,

As a newbie to the fly fishing scene, I have purchased the above rod as part of a starter outfit and would appreciate any comments as to its performance/suitability. I intend on using it for trout fishing at lochs.

Hi Marc
Welcome to the forum

The Ron Thompson will serve you perfectly well for starting out in fly fishing.

Best wishes

Hi,
I would agree with Mike, the Steelhead Pro is a perfectly acceptable rod to start with and will see you good for a few years yet.

I used to use an 8 weight version for jumping around the rocks at Cove when fly fishing for Mackeral and Pollock.

Enjoy!
