Cabelas 6 piece stowaway rod opinions

Anyone try the new cabelas 6 piece stowaway fly rods yet? I was wondering about the 7'6" 4 weight. Thanks

Hi Terry,

I have a Cabela's Stowaway 7'6" 4-wt, but in a 5-piece which I bought several years ago, I don't think they made a 6-piece then.
I do like it, the price was right, and it fits perfectly on my backpack, which I use for all-day hiking trips into wild brookie country.
It came with a Cabela's Drake reel, which is also OK.
The outfit fits my needs perfectly, but then I am no connousuier (?) of the more expensive rods.
I hope this helps.
Let me know of any further questions.

I haven't tried the new 6pc one but I have built on the same one JimBob has (the 5pc) and was pretty impressed by the feel of it. Not sure who makes their blanks for them but they do seem pretty nice especially for the affordable price they charge.

I have a 5wt 7 piece. Great little rod. My son uses it when we backpack into Rocky Mt Nat Park. It casts nicely, and I have used it a few times on the White River.

I've got the 5 pc., 4wt Stowaway, too. It's a very good stick for the price!

Hi Terry,

Don't know about the new one, but count one more vote for the folks who likes the old 7'6" 5 piece 4 wt.

I just purchased the 6 piece 3 wt. It is similar in action to the old 7 piece rod. I'd call it medium fast. I haven't had a chance to fish it yet, but have cast it in the yard several times. So far, I like it.

I've had a couple of them on the casting pond and was pretty happy with the way they cast, but I, too, have not had a chance to actually tie on a fly and fish one yet. Hope to remedy that real soon, so I might have a better opinion for you shortly. Absolutely loved the 5-piece version, and the six is a little faster, but I'm looking forward to trying it out.
