LLBean Fly Rod Review

This summer had the privilege to test out LLBean's newest and lightest fly rod, the Silver Ghost. It's more durable and 20% lighter than it's predecessor the Orion Rod. I chose an 8 weight rod for Sockeye Salmon and Steelhead. LLBean offers the Silver Ghost in a package with the Shearwater Reel, with line and backing (and cases) for $495. That's a screaming deal for an fly fishing outfit of this quality.

I test out a number of LL Bean products on a recent Sockeye Salmon fishing trip to our family cabin in Alaska.
