Reviews

SKY G 8904

★★★★★

“Trout fishers were impressed with the SKY G when Douglas Outdoors came out with 4- and 5-weight models in 2020, but the company's premium rod seemed a little bit like a teaser or an appetizer. It was delicious, but where was the rest of it? Finally, Douglas Outdoors has added an 8-weight to the SKY G family to whet the appetites of saltwater fly fishers. After testing in on the bonefish flats and mangrove channels of Boot Key and Coupon Bight, I believe it will leave saltwater fly fishers wanting even more.”

SKY G 9' 5wt

★★★★★

“I've fished this rod the last several months and couldn't be more happy. I'd call it medium fast action that provides lots of feedback but with lots of power in the lower third of the rod. This is a rod that is great short to mid-range but with an extra gear when you need to punch out some line. It is a very light weight rod with the lightest swing weight I've ever felt in this category of fly rod. If you want a pure power rod this is not for you but it you want an all around rod that does almost everything well with plenty of feel you need to look at this rod.”
