I just abhore casting lines with the whole head out the tip top. Feels clunky and nasty.

Sorry, man, but that condition ain't about the rod or the line...

T

for sure! The hybrid midnight special cost $299 I think - was totally worth it and the al stealth black finish mines got is pretty fuckin sexy to look at
It pairs with a Kraken 3 perfectly

Man, I still don't get why someone would plop down $300 on a rod, sight unseen, never cast it or another rod from that manufacturer, from a manufacturer not nearly as established as others in the industry. Heck, the Douglas LRS is $249, and that rod rockets. The TFO BVK is less than that. The Fenwick Aetos MSRP is $189, and that rod model rocks! True, the name "Douglas" isn't as sexy as "Moonshine", but it ain't about brand or model name for me...

IMHO - listen to @Richard E. He has more fly rods in his quivers, and in his backup rods, not counting the recent sales he has recently done, to fully understand rods and their capabilities...

Yes thats true.

Why not just buy a Sage Foundation for $325? Matte black blank and that rod has a stiff tip that would work well for pulling sinking lines out of the water. There is nothing worse that trying to pull a type 3 sink line out of the water with a noodle in your hand.

That Foundation is a whole lotta rod and punches well above its price point...

My moonshine rod is hardly a noodle-

I bought my Blue Halo glass 3wt sight unseen and never cast and I love that little rod so fucking much.

Sometimes you want to give the little guys a shot too, or at least I do

I'm not dropping coin for a sight unseen mail-order bride, nor $300 for a rod that neither my trusty buddies nor I have csst or even seen. But, that's me. Just learned my lessons over the years on gambling dinero on rods recommended by folks I don't know.

I would love to cast some Moonshine rods sometime. Good looking sticks, love the product name, but I'm more about substance than form, and I'd need to cast it at least handle one before the wallet is unleashed.

I own it now and would still recommend

BTW, that's awesome...

Ok - this isnt a rod you'll be able to test cast, but man....... it's the ultimate tiny trout stick. It's so different from anything I've ever had. I knew I'd never be able to test cast one, so I said fuck it. So glad I did

I own the drifter prophecy (11 foot switch). Its a nice rod but its medium action makes it a better single hand than double hand as far as casting.
