Thanks for your business. Really appreciate your shootouts.
But it's getting too long since the last one.
We badly need a new 5wt shootout 🙏 PLEASE
I looked at alot of reviews of the Sky G before buying. I know you cant always buy American but I sure do try my best. So, I wanted to make sure that the Sky G was worth going offshore for my first non-American rod, and it is. I do console myself that it is from an ally country with a good standard of living.
I agree with just about everything written about this rod.
PRO:
So light! Many times fishing a 3 or 4wt, I find myself wishing I had the extra punch of a 5. However my 5wt is an older Orvis a feels heavy and thick. I just never find myself reaching for it. The cork is still clean. This Douglas has the punch of a 5 but is the size and feel of my Winston 3wt. Every thing written about swing weight and accuracy is spot on.
CONS:
Like people say, the cork could be better at this price point. Not only isnt it the highest grade, mine needed a little more fine grit sanding. It's a working looking rod. Nothing too sexy about this one. It looks a bit like the ugly sister on the rack next to my T&T, Winston's, Scott, and Orvis'. Also, like others say, I kind of would have preferred snake guides, but not if they added weight and changed the action.
REEL: I know Yellowstone loves the Galvan, and so do I but I felt it balanced out a bit better with a slightly lighter Bauer. But yeah, cant go wrong with a Galvan either.
Nope not worth it.

@@corporalpunish6089 will its a little better they just eat dogs.
@@corporalpunish6089 Not only do they eat dogs but they beat them to death because it makes the meat more tender.
@@corporalpunish6089There are plenty of good American made rod companies.
@@markhale9877 Yes. And as I said, I have a bunch of them. I have a wall of Orvis, Winston, Scott, and T&T. Loaded with American and English reels. So, don't need to go down the buy America path with me. Just saying that I went off the reservation with this one (a strong US ally with high standard of living) and it is a very good rod.
