Their panel of experts awarded our 2-weight rod the highest combined score in the competition with an “amazing” 4.45 points out of a possible five. The reviewers fished 22 fly rods from eleven manufacturers with a variety of reels and lines and a range of conditions. Reviewer Paul Feldman says:
“There’s no question in my mind that I would leave the fly rod fairy a few brown trout scales for the Mystic M273-2.

The fact that it also delightful to cast and fish with is almost too good to be true!”
