The Game Changer
If your tired of paying big money to have a great fly rod there is a solution. I stumbled across Aleka fly rods while fishing with a friend.
I remember being highly skeptical when I saw their ads in the mags we all read. I told my friend he was wasting his money when he informed me he was going to fork out cash for one. I was trying to "help" him because it was his first flyrod and I had introduced Nate to flyfishing.
Fastforward. We are fishing the Catskills in a remote spring creek and he has it with him. I decided to for go my apprehension and give it a try. After the first 60 foot cast with his 5 weight I recall comparing his Aleka A4 to my affordable Redington Crosswater. I believe lifeless cadaver was the way I described my rod compared to his.
"Nate! How much did you pay for this"?
"140", replied Nate.
The shit eating grin on his face said it all.
I showed up to pick him up for our next trip weeks later. I commended him for not listening to my original statements about the company. Among Nate's gear was a brand new Aleka A8 6 weight.
"Its for you, Dave. Thanks for getting me into flyfishing".
Nates a great friend and Aleka is a great fly rod maker. Check them out for yourself.
PS... This is not a paid endorsement. I don't think Aleka needs the support from the 11 subscribers on my blog, they will do fine on their own!
Thanks again, Nate. My A8!
