Coming off the heels of the successful CGR Series, Cabela's is set to release their next generation glass fly rod offering in mid September which has been dubbed the CGt Series. The CGt Series will cover line weights two through five and be available in lengths 5'9" to 7'6" depending on the model.
The Cabela's CGr Series will be offered in the following lengths and line weights.
5'9" Three Weight
6'2" Two Weight
7'0" Three Weight
6'6" Four Weight
7'0" Four Weight
7'6" Five Weight
All CGt fly rods are in three pieces, will come in a cordura tube with a fabric rod sock, and will be priced at $149.99. The blanks are lightly sanded and have a translucent look when light passes through the chestnut painted blank. Blanks from this series will not be available separately for sale.
I've had one of the seven foot three weights for the past couple weeks and been really impressed so far. After some time in the front yard and on the pond I am left wondering how the rest of the line up will cast.
Cabela's has seemingly done it right again by providing a value priced fly rod which is a great first exposure to the wonders of fiberglass and a solid choice for someone who needs (okay...wants...) to pick up a short light line fly rod without guilt.
Look for a full review of the CGt Series in the coming months on T.F.M. and all models becoming part of the T.F.M. Fly Rod Loan Program as well.
