I purchased this as my very first fly rod and because I am a beginner, I have been beating the ever living hell out of this 10 foot 5wt and it is holding up brilliantly. After being thoroughly impressed with the rod, I went to the website to see what the manufacturers are like. Turns out they are very amazing and they have full warranty support to allow customers to order any individual piece of the rod that may break. They also send an extra tip in the very durable and nice case. The guys over at moonshine are killing it and they have now earned a lifetime customer. As for the actual rod itself, it’s beautiful and elegant the wood accents on the grip well as the brass fittings and overall fit and finish of the rod or top-notch. I’m not sure how they’re able to keep the lights on only charging very little for these rods compared to the other name brands. I’ve used a lot of the other name brands and I don’t see where the 10 X increase in price gives you 10 X performance. To be honest, these are kind of the end all be all for anyone who’s not a full-time professional fly fisherman, but to be honest, I think even the pros would be just fine with this rod or anything from the guys over at moonshine. If you’re considering this as your first rod , just do it spend a little extra to not get some Chinese combo that you will outgrow quickly. only given five stars because you can’t give six. Review: Great product and value - So I ended up returning this as I wanted a faster action rod for my 3wt but I do still own the moonshine Drifter II 5wt and although I would consider it a medium-fast action rod I love it. Fantastic look and quality build and you can't beat the spare tip it comes with included in the price. I tried to buy their Euro Nymph rod the Epiphany recently (July 2026), but they are out of stock and don't know when they will have more. Unfortunate for me. Great product, don't hesitate to purchase. ## Features - High Quality Construction - Performance, higher modulus carbon fiber makes it much lighter than the DrifterExtra Tip Included - Each Drifter II comes with two rod tip sections, so you'll always have a replacement handy.

Great product, don't hesitate to purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Craftsmanship and Solid Performance *by J***. on May 7, 2025* The craftsmanship on this rod is absolutely top-notch. From the moment you take it out of the case, you can tell it’s made with care and attention to detail. As someone who really appreciates quality gear, I was impressed right away. Out on the water, this rod performs just as well as it looks. The casting is smooth and accurate, with a great feel and balance in hand. It loads well and delivers a clean presentation without much effort. I’ve used it primarily on the North Platte River in Wyoming and had excellent success with it—plenty of control even in variable conditions, and the backbone to handle feisty trout. The weight feels just right for all-day use, and I had no issues with fatigue or strain after long sessions. It’s clear Moonshine Rod Co. knows what they're doing. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a rod that will help you grow in the sport, this is a rock-solid choice and a great value. The weight and size of the rod are perfect for larger rivers. It's not the best choice for fishing small rivers and creeks but for decent sized fish this is a great option. Highly recommend—beautiful rod, reliable performance, and a great company behind it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Moonshine Rod Co.
