Tom L Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Just came back from the Hoffman Estates Cabela's. Saw some nice glass rods on sales. Thought some of you might be interested. 1 x Cabela's CGT 7' 3wt, was $149.99, now $74.99. 2 x Cabela's CGT 7'6" 4wt, was $149.99, now $74.99. I think you can order online too. Here is the link. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fly-Fishing/Fly-Fishing-Rods|/pc/104793480/c/104721480/sc/105573780/Cabelas-CGT-Fiberglass-Fly-Rods/1409646.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Ffly-fishing-rods%2F_%2FN-1102568%2B4294727080%2FNe-4294727080%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_105573780%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253BMMcat104793480%253Bcat104721480%26WTz_st%3DGuidedNav%26WTz_stype%3DGNU&WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104793480%3Bcat104721480%3Bcat105573780 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Those are fantastic rods. I've got a 4 wt, it's a perfect driftless rod. Those rods with a double taper line make a real nice presentation! They are a blast to fish, and well made. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Johnson Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ryan, Are you sure you don't have the green CGR series? I know the green CGR series is widely held out as one of the best bargain factory fiberglass fly rods available. But Cabelas replaced the CGR series with a newer CGT series which is kind of an orangish-rust type color. I should preface my comments in that I have never cast either series of rods, but I have heard very poor reviews of the newer CGT series. Again, the older CGR series received rave reviews from almost everyone that I knew that tried them. But it is my understanding that the newer CGT series are much stiffer and the tapers are widely considered to be inferior to the CGR series.

I read the post too fast I guess! Well, never cast the CGT series, but love my CGR. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
