A couple of weeks ago, my daughter gave me a Ross Essence FW fly rod. It's an 8 1/2'-4 piece- 5 weight. I've lawn cast it a couple of times and with a WF5F Cortland Peach, I got out to my brick wall of 60'. I'm just wondering if anyone here has any experience with the new line of Ross rods and what you think of them. I'm not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth here. I'm just curious if I should have been able to cast further that 60'. It was windy. Until I received that rod from my daughter I had no idea Ross even made fly rods.
