Moonshine Rod Company Fly Fishing Rod with Carrying Case and Extra Rod Tip

So I ended up returning this as I wanted a faster action rod for my 3wt but I do still own the moonshine Drifter II 5wt and although I would consider it a medium-fast action rod I love it. Fantastic look and quality build and you can't beat the spare tip it comes with included in the price. I tried to buy their Euro Nymph rod the Epiphany recently (July 2026), but they are out of stock and don't know when they will have more. Unfortunate for me. Great product, don't hesitate to purchase.

This rod arrived in good condition, no beat up box or broken items! the rod has worked magnificent for me since ive been using it. has a really good action along with very nice feel also very light. its been durable, very versatile for my fly line and euro setup. 3/4 and 5/6 wt. sick carrying case with a rod to match

Beautiful rod, good price, feels great, multiple rod tips and has warranty. This entry level rod made in China for Moonshine, but a US company with good US made high end rods and veteran friendly.

Fast shipping made it possible to take on my latest trip. I was pleased with the build quality. Rod was easy to load and very accurate for short distances. Happy overall

The craftsmanship on this rod is absolutely top-notch. From the moment you take it out of the case, you can tell it’s made with care and attention to detail. As someone who really appreciates quality gear, I was impressed right away. Out on the water, this rod performs just as well as it looks. The casting is smooth and accurate, with a great feel and balance in hand. It loads well and delivers a clean presentation without much effort. I’ve used it primarily on the North Platte River in Wyoming and had excellent success with it—plenty of control even in variable conditions, and the backbone to handle feisty trout. The weight feels just right for all-day use, and I had no issues with fatigue or strain after long sessions. It’s clear Moonshine Rod Co. knows what they're doing. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a rod that will help you grow in the sport, this is a rock-solid choice and a great value. The weight and size of the rod are perfect for larger rivers. It's not the best choice for fishing small rivers and creeks but for decent sized fish this is a great option. Highly recommend—beautiful rod, reliable performance, and a great company behind it.

I bought my first fly rod setup in 1994, so I have been at this a while. I was looking for a nice backup rod and reel without breaking the bank. I purchased the Moonshine Drifter 5wt rod and I paired it with the Kingfisher Big Blackfoot Reel with a loaded it with RIO Perception WF5F fly line I found on sale. The rod was packaged in nice rod case and came with a spare rod tip. The rod is light weight and seems to be well made. I love the look of this rod with the copper accents and the wood reel seat. I spent a week on the river fishing with this rod and it worked perfectly. This rod is on par with some of my more expensive rods. I am planning on purchasing another Moonshine rod in a 9wt. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have fun and catch fish, but a good rod and reel along with a good fly line makes it more enjoyable. If you are looking for a nice rod either as a beginner or an avid fisherman, this rod deserves chance.

Great fly rod.

I had found this rod on my own on Amazon and after doing some digging online, I saw that many people on YouTube recommend these rods and use their various models for different types of fishing. I purchased this as my very first fly rod and because I am a beginner, I have been beating the ever living hell out of this 10 foot 5wt and it is holding up brilliantly. After being thoroughly impressed with the rod, I went to the website to see what the manufacturers are like. Turns out they are very amazing and they have full warranty support to allow customers to order any individual piece of the rod that may break. They also send an extra tip in the very durable and nice case. The guys over at moonshine are killing it and they have now earned a lifetime customer. As for the actual rod itself, it’s beautiful and elegant the wood accents on the grip well as the brass fittings and overall fit and finish of the rod or top-notch. I’m not sure how they’re able to keep the lights on only charging very little for these rods compared to the other name brands. I’ve used a lot of the other name brands and I don’t see where the 10 X increase in price gives you 10 X performance. To be honest, these are kind of the end all be all for anyone who’s not a full-time professional fly fisherman, but to be honest, I think even the pros would be just fine with this rod or anything from the guys over at moonshine. If you’re considering this as your first rod , just do it spend a little extra to not get some Chinese combo that you will outgrow quickly. only given five stars because you can’t give six.

Haven't used it yet but as far as I can tell the craftsmanship on this rod is unmatched. Thank you moonshine rod co

belle qualité et avec une section de spare

Have fished this rod for a few weeks now on the small streams of Dartmoor, and have to say it's a little cracker! Handles casting into stiff breezes admirably, and when playing decent moorland trout it bends deep for maximum enjoyment during the fight! The quality of the rod and fittings is excellent, it looks great and is a joy to use. Just buy one you will not be disappointed.

3wt sure catches fish! Also feels great, super strong and i can see this rod becoming my new go to fly rod!

Really good product
