PREDATOR
Overview
The PREDATOR is the ultimate fly rod for big flies, heavy lines, and aggressive-fighting fish. It features a powerful, intuitive fast action that commands enough power to combat big game fish and pick up and cast today's heavy lines and massive flies. Its action is designed to perform in both freshwater and saltwater scenarios, and all components are saltwater-ready. The PREDATOR family encompasses models ranging from spooky-bonefish duty 5-weights to tarpon-ready 12 weights, and up to 16wt to tame anything that swims in the ocean. The PREDATOR is also offered in unique specialty models like a 7'10" 8-weight and dedicated PIKE and MUSKY models with extended fighting butts for boat side figure-eights.

I would have loved this rod on my last bonefish trip! Read LessRead less about This is a great rod for BC salmon
is why I am here on Redington's webite, making a warranty claim, but figured I'd drop an overdue review), the first time I broke it (2018 - I broke it being stupid) Redington took care of me and got the rod sorted and sent back to me quickly before the Thailand Trip.
The rod is a bruiser and takes a lot of gumption. Ive spent a lot of time out in the hot sun in tropical countries slinging 6-7" flies with this rod all day. It has the power to shoot and cast well, and its not overly burdensome to cast. I recommend it to all my friends who are sliding into the bigger fish fly game. With the reliability and the price point it beats out a bunch of rods 2 or 3 time more expensive. No matter where I go and what rods Im taking, the Predator will always be with me.
