Comments about Cortland Cortland Big Sky Fly Rods:
This 8 wt. rod was set up with a 300 grain Rio shooting head for shad. I noticed improved casting ability in both distance and accuracy over my 8 wt. Powell. The flexibility of the rod was easy to load up in a double haul and shot the head like a cannon. A minor nuisance was keeping the mid-ferral of this 4-piece tight but it did not hinder the use of the rod. The action was great with a 4 pound shad on, but it could also easily handle a big steely or striper. This one is a winner and is now my #1 rod.
