Sharpes of Aberdeen

Following the success of the Ajax 3-piece rods, Sharpes were asked about bringing out a 4 piece range, so they've not only introduced the 10' #7 and 9'6" #7, but also the 10' #5 and 10' #6 rods. As with their 3-piece range, these were tested by local anglers of varying abilities at a local fishery and once again anglers reported that it is a very friendly user rod with excellent recovery and performance. As a reminder of what Trout and Salmon said about the 10' #7 fly rod in the Apr 17 edition: " The action is suited to reservoir fishing from boat and bank; there's plenty of power in the butt, a firm middle-tip flex, and a positive memory......we found the rod easy to cast - little effort was needed to put out a long line. It should suit most casters, including those relatively new to fly-fishing . The above was reinforced in a recent test by Trout and Salmon on the 10' #7 Ajax4.
