  • Casts like a dream!
Size: 3wt 7'6 Style: Drifter Ii
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. ... show more

  • Fantastic fly rod for the price
Size: 6wt 9' Style: Drifter Ii
I own the 5 weight and love it. I bought the 6 weight to fish heavier streamers. You really can't go wrong with this rod for the price point. It's well crafted, has great action. It's a beautiful rod. My Helios D is usually my go to. This rod has become a solid second choice, with fairly similar action. The rod tube is compartmented for each rod section, and each rod includes an extra tip section. ... show more

  • A very pleasant surprise
I found Moonshine Rods while researching for blanks to build a flyrod to replace one that got donated to the fish gods. I spent 3 days researching Moonshine after finding them here on Amazon. I've enjoyed fast action flyrods for years, but as I get older I find I like a little slower, less demanding action. The Drifter seemed like "the one" to me. I ordered a 9' 5weight. 2 days later, I was opening a box to reveal something I didnt expect. A VERY NICE looking rod appeared as the packaging went away. Initially, you are attracted to the burl wood insert on the reel seat, then the cork handle, and then your eyes start wandering over the guides thread windings. Beautifully executed, no gaps, no lumps and well done top coat finish. After receiving my new reel and line, I strung up this gem and headed to the yard to see how this baby casts. Few false casts to feel out the action and let her rip. That's when I noticed something you don't see even on high dollar factory rods unless its a custom build on a mass produced blank. Most rods don't have enough line guides. This causes the line to sag between the guides, slowing down line speed and making casting long distance difficult. This rod has more line guides than most 9' rods, and if you load the action up statically, you'll find the line follows the blank perfectly! The Drifter casts effortlessly for me to 50-60 feet. and further with a bit more effort. Well done Moonshine Rod Co, for actually building a flyrod correctly!!! The extra tip section is a nice bonus as well. I'm looking forward to actually fishing this rod. At 200 bucks, I wouldnt call this a "budget" rod, but I would call it a very high value/per dollar spent rod. You can spend more, you could spend less, but this rod hits right in the feels for the best bang/$$ IMO. BTW, customer service is unbelievable. I emailed a question at 6:30 PM mountain time, I got a response and hour later. How many business answer emails after hours? These folks are awesome ... show more

  • Great rod!
Size: 8wt 9' Style: Outcast
I wanted to try fishing for Coho from the beach, and needed something larger than my other fly rods. This (and the creede reel) was on sale for half off so I decided to give it a try. For the price I got it at, I am happy with it. Had I paid full price, I think I'd still be just as happy. It's a solid rod at a very good price. I also used it to chase steelhead this winter and plan on using it for large mouth this spring and summer :) I also have the 3wt for small creeks and it's an amazing little rod. Moonshine is putting out some great stuff and they go on sale frequently. If you are patient, you can get some quality gear and very low prices. ... show more

Size: 5wt 10' Style: Drifter Ii
Got a smoking deal on the 10’ 5wt. so decided to try it. I’m used to using a 9’ 6” Sage 5wt. I like a longer rod since I spey fish, too. The Moonshine Drifter II is definitely a fast action rod. The swing weight isn’t bad. No issues there. Started out throwing a 5 wt line and didn’t get the distance I wanted, so I lined up to a 6 wt line. This added about 8-10 more feet. It’s pretty accurate from 30-45 feet and I can easily get 50-55 feet of distance without straining. The craftsmanship is decent for the price. People have complained about not having snake guides, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. They work fine. The reel seat holds the reel adequately as well. This rod will handle a double nymph set up with a strike indicator no problem. It will also throw dries. As far as durability, time will tell. It’s definitely a pretty rod, but I care more about functionality. ... show more
