Piscifun Sword Fly Fishing Rod - 4-Piece 9ft Graphite IM7 Carbon Fiber Blank

Beren: I love the guide dots. The bottom guide dot is a little off but it doesn’t take much to get it just right. I’ve used this rod in many applications and it excels. Definitely a good budget fly rod.

Casey Jones: Upon arrival the rod and packaging was nice. Up on inspection the wraps are tied and finished nicely and well done. But normally on a 9’ rod there should be ten eyes. This one only has 9. So, it’s one short. I also noticed tha it was about .75 oz heavier than some other comprise rods. But for getting started in flyfishing or are a spare rod it would work fine.

BrookeBrooke: Got the 9 wt for musky and didn’t want to spend a fortune. I was able to cast good distances with bigger flies. I only used it for about 4 hours but really didn’t feel fatigued by the weight of the rod. I paired it with a behemoth 7/8 loaded with Rio mainstream Wf9f. I was able to cast about 75 ft, which was the max I could get out of it. I smacked the tip a couple good times against a rock and then again off a tree (not on purpose). The rod did not snap so that’s a plus. Overall, if you’re looking for a fast action 9 wt for a steal, buy the sword.
Update: Still going strong after a month! I bought it when it was 34.99, can’t beat this rod for that price ever. Took it out striper fishing and again the rod worked great.

Phil PopielskiPhil Popielski: I have purchased. . 4. 5. 6. 7 wt swords and matching aoka xs reels over the last season for rediculous prices. One might think .gotta be cheap right?? Well wrong answer .top notch quality at a steal. I bought the 4 complete set ups for the price of 1 redington rod only . ive never broke one even in the learning process and they saw plenty of trees and snags thru learning. Not my only rods but my preferred ones for sure . all 4 reels didn't even cost as much as my redington behemoth and these still work right ..if your on the fence on which of the cheaper setups you can start with . start here ..far better quality than the others of the price range . other companys have sent me free gear to get a good review . .not often im compelled to chime in and give a thumbs up for making quality gear affordable . Thank you. Piscifun for the sword series.

Bill McKinney: I've wanted to get my feet wet with saltwater fly fishing, so I picked up a pair of these rods early in 2021 - a 6wt-9' and a 7wt-9' for fishing the beaches, bays & kelp beds around San Diego. I wanted to hold off on my review until I had a chance to use them in various conditions and catch a few fish. Last month I added a third rod to the mix - a 4wt-8'6" for fishing Eastern Sierra trout.

Now that I've used them to catch fish from beach, bay, boat, surf & stream, I gotta say I'm pretty impressed - and I'm fairly picky about my fishing gear (I've been building rods since the late '60s, and except for a few vintage classics all of my rods are custom-built, by me or my friends).

I didn't expect to like these rods as much as I do. I wanted something cheap I could use just long enough to see if I liked saltwater fly fishing, and if so then I figured I would upgrade. Now that I've used them, I expect I'll hang on to them for a while. If and when I finally get around to finding that perfect blank and wrapping my own perfect fly stick, it'll be because I want to, not because I have to.

I won't claim that these rods are exactly the same quality as a premium...

RENE A.: In 2018, used this rod twice but did not catch anything. Used the rod once in 2019 and caught 23 fish (2 - 3.5 lb rainbows) and that was the end. The tip broke just above the connection (also called ferrule). Unlucky, maybe. Also the action is not great. The chrome guides they use is suppose to let the line glide out more easily ... well I don't think so. I did purchase a sword 5/6 wt reel with my Sword 5 wt rod. My floating line is also a brand new 5/6 wt but the casting distance was not there. I like the reel but I can't say as much for the rod.

Chrisvulture: Nice looking rod,finish on it appears to be good!Have not fished it yet!

Amazon Customer: Just started fly-fishing again. I like this rod, not as fast and stiff as other rods I bought, and it allows me to load the rod a bit more, making casting a bit more easy. Will continue to practice on this.
