I was in NZ last week on a Hurley’s Guided tour when I used the guide, Eddies #5 glide. I had been using my #6 Aire and some the tighter waters were causing me problems. With the Glide I was able to better direct my casts, especially under the willows. It has power without stiffness and requires less grunt from the fisherman. All in all a lovely rod to use.

I have the 4wt. Good accuracy from 30 feet to way out. Very light and a pleasure to use.

I have the 4wt. Very accurate from a little under 30 feet away to way out. Light in the hand.

I gave it a maiden flight in Tasmania a week ago,and it was sooooo much better than my old one or my mates redington. So easy to cast and wonderfully light and heaps of power to put some pressure on those bigger trout. A stunning rod and glad I spent the extra. $$$$$.

Having both the #2wt (7’6″) & the #5wt (8’6″) in my Red Tag Trout Tours guiding business and a large number of other Gavin’s rods, I put the Glide series down as the very best of an excellent range of outfits.
Haven taken the #5wt to NZ Southland with Gavin last year it was delight to use and handled their aggressive browns up to 5lbs+ with ease and you can cast (and catch) all day.
In Tasmania. on our smaller, intimate rivers and streams requiring delicate presentations, accuracy and resilience the #2wt is in a class of its own. Whether it is gently presenting #16 to #10 size dries or getting 3lbs+ wild browns to the net the this Glide unit does it all.

Don’t let the price fool you, its my favourite rod, and I am a fly rod junkie. The 9ft 6wt does everything you’ll ever need it to on a lake or big river.
