I own the 904-2 Lamson Purist, so I'm always interested in casting videos with the Radius. Lamson has carved out an interesting price point, just below the higher-end mid-priced rods like Hardy and Scott, but just above the lower-end rods. If you have access to a spool of SA Smooth Creek you might want to cast it. On the Purist, I fish a size 10 Umpqua wooly as the water levels come down. Great fun. BTW, the audio seemed fine. :-)

I have a Purist as-well and the radius has a slightly different feel. The two piece rod Cast a little smoother (less Ferrels) but a bigger package. I like your ideal with the SA Creek, Its a full size heavy so it should throw wooly's better with that compact head. Thanks for the Comment. Tight Lines.

Hey bro, I am not poop posting here, and I know that sound levels are not standardized, but I had to turn the youtube video player up to max when I haven't had to mess with it more than a couple taps of the up or down arrow keys for some time.

It was a Windy day, I will try and improve the Audio next time! Tight lines.

The "BEST" 9 foot 5 weight fly rod is the one you can afford, along with the understanding of the fish you plan to catch, the flies that represent their food, and being able to cast with that rod effectively to present the appropriate fly! The "elitism" that infests fly-fishing is monetarily driven and egocentric! You DO NOT need to appear as though you stepped out of a fly-fishing catalogue, unless you care deeply about what others will say of your gear! Go for it and have fun!

[@blackdogoutdoorsports9776]

Yes the best is what you make of it. this review is solely built on the fact that for your money you are getting a fly rod that is UNDER PRICED in value as compaired to the competition. IE it Light, fairly fast, and for trout fishing excells at swinging flies and throwing dries.Thanks for the comment @zubenelgenubi , TIGHT LINES and get out and enjoy your time outside!
