Recently I bought the Taniwha TSH805, and I am the owner of three other fiberglass rods for comparison with following result: The TSH805 is by far the best glass fiber rod I have! Beautifully processed, semi-parabolic action, fast recovery speed and very light, absolutely top! Perfect price-performance ratio and fast shipping. Many thanks and best regards from Austria

This has been built up into my favourite "Euro Nymphing" rod. I have had it on the river a dozen times now for Grayling through the winter and its a joy to use. So light, but responsive. Ideal for bugging using a Euro line or French Nymphing using a long tapered leader. It excels at plopping 3 weighted nymphs upstream and leading them through the river. You feel every little knock.

I have ended up with a rod that is very subtle, but very classy at the same time. Seriously considering a co

I have bought a few glass blanks recently, but this is by far the best and one of the best value. The quality and finish is spot on, the blank is straight and I really like the concept of overfit joints rather than ugly spigots. The blank lights up in the sun and looks awesome. As to the action, well, the rod is super light and surprisingly fast in recovery. With a dry fly it is an absolute delight. I also fished it Duo style and it handles tungsten beads upto 2.5mm nicely. Started to struggle a little with heavier nymphs, but that's what the next blank size up is for, so not a problem. Highly recommended for dry fly, lighter Duo fishing and big fish on lighter tippets. Love it!!
