I am impressed. I wanted a good looking, great feeling, and mid-sensitive rod for pike and walleye in my boat and moonshine has outdone themselves with everything listed and then some. The hard case included is fantastic and they took some attention to detail which I appreciate, stout, plenty of room without a ton of slop, the zipper isn’t finicky, and both the top and bottom of the case are solid. I was a bit nervous due to the different approach moonshine took on their larger line guide having a super tiny hole as opposed to the standard but it remarkably casts even further than i would have given it credit for without having tried it first. Plus it came with a sticker which was almost as exciting 😂 well worth the money, good weight, crisp balance, and well tuned.

The craftsmanship on this rod is absolutely top-notch. From the moment you take it out of the case, you can tell it’s made with care and attention to detail. As someone who really appreciates quality gear, I was impressed right away. Out on the water, this rod performs just as well as it looks. The casting is smooth and accurate, with a great feel and balance in hand. It loads well and delivers a clean presentation without much effort. I’ve used it primarily on the North Platte River in Wyoming and had excellent success with it—plenty of control even in variable conditions, and the backbone to handle feisty trout. The weight feels just right for all-day use, and I had no issues with fatigue or strain after long sessions. It’s clear Moonshine Rod Co. knows what they're doing. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a rod that will help you grow in the sport, this is a rock-solid choice and a great value. The weight and size of the rod are perfect for larger rivers. It's not the best choice for fishing small rivers and creeks but for decent sized fish this is a great option. Highly recommend—beautiful rod, reliable performance, and a great company behind it.

What a fantastic rod! It punches outside it's weight class in every way. First of all, it looks great! Secondly, it is made exceptionally well. I have a couple of 9' 5wt St Croix rods and needed a 3 wt. I bought the 7'6" 3 wt Moonshine Drifter II. I've used it twice and am sold. It is incredibly accurate. In fact, in just a couple of minutes of use I found myself literally just thinking of a spot and the cast was almost automatic. I was nailing challenging targets time after time like shooting fish in a barrel. Fighting a fish is natural and intuitive with the drifter II. It has great feel and is super comfortable. The action loads easily and launches line. The handle is some of the softest feeling cork I've ever felt on a fly rod. So far, it's fantastic. My hope is it holds up over the years. Time will tell. At this point, I can see this being something I could proudly hand down as an heirloom.

First off, I don't leave reviews almost ever, so that should tell you something right off the bat. I started my fly fishing journey about a year ago with the KastKing Emergence combo. It's a ~$130ish rod 'n reel set up that gets you in the water as quick as possible. For someone who had never fly fished before, it was a fantastic combo to get you going. As I started to fly fish more often (around 3-4 times a week) I decided it may be time to invest a bit more into my hobby. I did my research, watched my YouTubes, and found my way to this guy here. One of my gripes with the Emergence was that I felt as though I couldn't ever cast out as far as I needed to. I'm primarily a stillwater fisher; you won't catch me on streams and such often (no trout where I live). I decided to stick with a 5wt, but went up to a 10 foot rod. My first cast with this rod took about a fourth of the amount of false casting I normally would've done to get the amount of line out that I needed. After two days, I've already landed a personal best largemouth. This thing is the truth! If my old rod was a rifle, this thing is a howitzer. It's unbelievable how far I can cast out with this rod. Pros: - Beautiful rod, very classy - Well constructed, appears durable (time will tell) - Medium action, allows for more tactile feel while in the water and also more bend in the rod for longer casting. - Effortless casting. A beginner was able to operate this rod like a seasoned pro within 15 minutes. - Comes with extra tip section. Cons: - No guide dots on the sections. This is a minor gripe and can be DIY remedied if you wish. - The cork feels wonderful, but I noticed very small pieces of it flaking off once my hand got a little wet. I'm unsure if it'll last through the rigors of kayaking, but again, time will tell.

I ordered the “revival” 4wt, 7’6”. Overall craftsman ship is nice. Rod pictured is not the same as rod received. I believe moonshine has since updated the “revival,” in fact I believe it is now discontinued altogether. Rod received had different cork which is not as nice as pictured cork, reel uplock hardware is black not silver, and first foot of glass about cork is also black. See pics on moonshine website, those are an accurate depiction of rod sent. IMO, the old aesthetic was much prettier. Feel of rod is great, super lightweight, full flex and traditional feeling glass action and sensitivity. Happy with purchase, just wish it matched pics on Amazon web store.
