***************Review*****************

Three years ago, I wrote a review extolling the performance of the Douglas DXF 5wt. After 40 years of fly-fishing I thought I had found the one rod, at an affordable price, that suited my preferences, fishing with dry flies, nymphs and small wets to fish seen. Then the new Gen 2 was released. Did I need another 5 weight? Could there be a genuine improvement on the original DXF when that rod scored within 5% of the winning Douglas Sky G in the 2020 Yellowstone Anglers 5wt shootout? Short answer to both question, yes! Not long after my new rod arrived, I was on the water testing it. The Gen 2 is a fraction lighter in both actual weight and swing weight than the older DXF, but overall it has a definite lighter feel in the hand. I have a better feel of the rod loading on the back cast. I’m producing tighter loops. I have more control of the presentation. I can easily punch a fly into a 20-25 km/h wind and still get a good roll over. Short, middle, long casts are all easy. Yet, the Gen 2 has enough backbone to handle a 4 lb brown trout. I was always impressed how I could pick up the line with the DXF and with one back cast shoot out a longish cast to a cruising fish. That’s even easier with the Gen 2. The original DXF is a great rod. I still love it, but the Gen 2 is a definite step up.
