Hobbs Creek fly rods strike a fine balance between attractive, high quality components, and a pleasing price. Designed around our own easy casting IM-6 blank, these rods feature a components package normally found on much higher priced rods. Walnut reel seat inserts, aluminum alloy fittings, oversized stainless steel snake guides, and a high grade cork grip are standard. Rods measuring 8' and over are equipped with dual stripping guides. 4 through 6 weight rods feature a Western-style reversed half wells grip. 7 and 8 weight models have a full wells grip, and come with a detachable fighting butt. Rod sock is included.Species Key:T = TroutP = PanfishS = Salmon/SteelheadSW = Inshore SaltwaterB = Bass

Amazing Purchase,May 13, 2009
By acklaxer32from Harrisburg, PA
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"I bought the rod to go along with my new G. Loomis reel. Match made in heaven. This rod has brought in almost 100 trout since I bought it about 4 months ago. It is continually dependable, easy to break down and put together as well as travel with. I have the 5wt, 2-piece. It has amazing action and great casting range. I'm saving up now for my next one, an 8wt for bass and steelhead. I would highly recommend this to anyone."

Good For Begginer or Pro,February 11, 2009
By tjweavman
"Im fairly new at fly fishing and have had other rods before. Just the cheapies which worked fine for the time being. Then I recently got this White River Hobbs Creek and it is amazing. I have the 9 foot one. The sensitivity is just right and it can make an ok caster feel like a pro. It is super light and fatigue is'nt an issue with this pole. If you have a tight budget or just want a good fly rod I highly recommend this pole."

Hobbs Creek Fly Rod,November 27, 2006
By gww0405from Maryland
"I have been fishing with the 7' 4wt for two months now, and am very happy with it. The action is medium slow which fits my relaxed casting style quite well. If you are the kind of person who likes to feel the rod loading this is the rod for you. The rod is very light in the hand and I can cast all day without tiring. Several of my friends have tried it and plan on getting one for themselves. The only fault I can find in it is it makes want to buy another one in a heavier weight for bass fishing."

Fun Little Flyrod!,September 13, 2006
By bluegillbobfrom eastern NC
"I've been using the 4 pc 4wt that measures 7 ' 6 ". I simply love this little flyrod...it's light, responsive, attractive, and has durable hardware. I've had this rod for 2 yrs, and it has performed well for me. I have a more expensive flyrod, but this little Hobbs Creek is the one I'd rather fish with! I'm currently using the Hobbs Creek (HCR-1) reel along with my rod, and enjoying every moment with it.
This rod casts nicely in the wind. Short or long casts. Slow or faster casts. You can cast this rod all day and not wear out your casting arm.
If you are thinking about adding a nice little 4 wt, and you have a limited budget, consider the Hobbs Creek in the 7' 6" model. It's a nice rod, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned angler. I'm glad I own one!"

Hobbs Creek Fly rod,August 3, 2006
By JayHfrom Ohio
"I bought a 7' 4W Hobbs Creek fly rod and combined it with a Hobbs Creek HC1R large arbor reel. The system balances nicely and casts very smoothly with the Hobbs Creek WF 4 F fly line. Overall I am very happy with this setup, the only complaint might be that I wish the fly line came in another color besides orange. I am not new to fly fishing but have picked it up after a long layoff. Early on I had the fortune of using a lot of fine equipment early on. I do not miss a thing with this system."
