Ha guys Cabelas has LSI fly rods on sale now. $113 for single hand rods and $149 for spey/switch rods. Lifetime warranty on all Cabelas rods now. Guess Cabelas got the message about warranties on there rods. By the way my buddies who spey fish a lot said the Cabelas LSI Spey/switch rods are outstanding.

Ive never used a cabelas rod. Are they decent?

 

[SMSNYDER]

Yes they are decent rods. Made over seas like tfo,orvis clearwater,fenwick etc. Life time warranty now. How can you go wrong for a little over $100

I think Echo rods are a better value

I also like that Echo is a company that is actually involved in the industry and industry issues. The guys who work there flyfish and care about flyfishing. And while their rods are made overseas, the company is Washington based, which means something to me.

That's not to crap on anyone who buys from Cabelas. I've spent money there plenty of times. Just more of a comment on why I like Echo (and Sage/Redington and, for that matter, Lamiglas).

Are the LSI rods tip- or mid-flex?

I have been trying to decided between the 10' 8wt LSI vs. the 10' 8wt Echo ION. I am leaning towards the Echo ION given the reviews I have read. Any other budget rod suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[Mark Mercer]

Yeah, I see the CGR's are also listed as lifetime Warranty now.

 

[Nick Clayton]

I think if most quality fly rods were in this price range I wouldn't give two shits about a lifetime warranty.

LSI's are pretty good little rods. I bought the 5wt 3 years ago or so when this sale was on and really was shocked how nice it fished

I was looking at the xl, what weight do you have, what line are you using

I bought the 9' 6" 7 wt. LSI when they had them for $99.
I recently had it and my 9' 6" 6 wt. Hardy Zenith out with comparable lines and would say that the LSI was neck and neck with the Zenith, granted the Zenith was one weight lighter.

I'd go with the Echo. I hear that their cork tastes better

Lifetime warranty on all Cabelas rods now.

What lifetime? Of the owner? The rod model? The company?

To the extent Cabela's was purchased by Bass Pro, not being negative, but the warranty will likely eventually be meaningless.

Owning a couple of their rods, I'm kind of curious on the Bass Pro thing myself.

 

[Irafly]

I fish multiple Cabela's rods, and I love every one of them. My LSI is an excellent fishing rod.

 

[Truckeetroutbum]

I've owned a few of these and while they are solid for the price, I broke a few and was told upon 2nd breakage that the "lifetime" guarantee on there Rods means they will replace it ONCE. Once it is replaced, it no longer carries warranty...
This was info from a fat chick in Reno that was pretty pissed off in general and also from over two years ago.
I decided to stop supporting them personally when they explained this swindle!
