  1. This is a great all around 4wt that won’t break the bank. It’s not the lightest mid-priced 9’ 4wt out there and isn’t the stiffest either. This rod fits very nicely in the middle among the competition in terms of weight, action, and intended purpose. It has a little more substance than some other 4wt rods and will handle a wide range of fishing techniques well. It will be happy fishing dry flies, dry-droppers, nymphs, and even a small streamer. I threw this rod with the Rio Elite Gold WF4F and was very impressed.

  2. The Recon 9 foot 4 weight is a good looking and smooth casting moderate-fast rod. You get some of that same tall butt section feeling and off-the-tip sweetness found in the Helios but not quite as light or lightning-feeling springiness as the best Helios rods. The Recon rods load more incrementally and prescribed. You feel the load building and you get a wonderful sense of crispness along the back of the rod at turnover. It feels solid and exact with an appropriate lightness in hand for this build. The tip is a little stiffer and you’ll be better served with a higher, more abrupt stop. The line lays out nicely. You get a pretty piece of wood for a spacer and aside from a slight deadening in the butt section, you sacrifice very little with this competitively priced 9 foot 4 weight.

  3. The fundamental action of the Recon series shines in core models, including the 9’ 4, 5 and 6-weight. This rod is heavier than the Helios F 9’ 4-weight, but casts with a medium-fast action that is super versatile on the water and with greater ability to cast large flies in the wind. My favorite line pairing is the Rio Elite Technical Trout, with which this rod casts naturally both short and long with excellent accuracy and convincing line speed.
