Douglas Sky G - I had always promised myself a good quality fly rod and having used a “starter kit” for many years this was the opportunity to upgrade. I read the reviews and done some research and I couldn’t find a reason NOT to buy the Douglas Sky G rod. The price was good and I am more than happy with performance. Lightweight, strong and responsive. Can’t wait to be able to get out more often in the Spring and put it through its paces.
Also, I have to mention the service from Flyshop NZ. The communication was excellent and they opened specially for me to pick the rod up on a Saturday. What service! Thanks Birgitte.

Sky G impressive - This rod really lives up to its reputation. Light, accurate, strong and so responsive. Loved it - beautiful hen rainbow caught in the Hinemaiaia on its first outing. Thanks Steve and co for quick and smooth delivery - just like the rod!

"The Sky G rod is impressive in all aspects of casting. It was worth breaking the old rod!" - I really enjoy using the rod, it lives up to all my expectations, Responsive, sensitive, a pleasure to use and own.
I have fly fished for 54 years starting with cane through fiberglass to the ultimate carbon rod.
It was worth breaking my thirty year old Sage 3 # 5 light line, now resting after repairs!

Great bit of kit - I was astounded at just how light this 6 wt rod was, but how relatively easy it was to cast with. 30 kph winds and rain at Turangi made for difficult conditions, but the rod, paired with Scientific Anglers MPX line, gave me a fighting chance. I think my other 6 wt rod might be gathering dust from now on!

The choice was pretty easy in the end - Shop Comment - we sent Jude an Orvis Helios F #6 to compare with the Sky G - this is what he said - 'Had a cast at the park and have decided to keep the Douglas. They are both beautiful rods, but the Douglas is just so light, responsive, crisp and powerful that the choice was pretty easy in the end (although I did love the Orvis too). '
