Best Rod
WRANGLER
At just US$159.99, Redington’s Wrangler rods are ideal for beginners and youths, as well as travelling anglers wanting a backup kit. Available in line weights 4 to 8, these nine-foot, four-piece rods are a delight to cast with their medium-fast action. Angler-friendly features include alignment dots and laser-etched size designations on the reel seats. For bigger game, the 7- and 8-weight rods offer optional fighting butts; there’s also a 10-foot 7-weight.
