But, everyone has an opinion on fly rods. We wanted our test to remain truly OBJECTIVE. No members of the Trident Fly Fishing staff had any scores added to the results. Some are guides, others beginners, most have day jobs, but all love to fish.

Our shootout was comprised of 17 real fisherman.

But the вЂbestвЂ™ five-weight needs to work well for everyone, so we added some pros to make sure that we had a full range of casting abilities. So the first thing we did was reach out to our local community and find a group of casters that was more likeвЂ¦ well, YOU. A rod that casts beautifully for Tim Rajeff, might give you tailing loops all the time. And while a finely honed casting stroke makes for a great caster, they probably donвЂ™t really have much in common with you. The first problem with testing fly rods is that guides, fly shop owners, and other вЂprofessionalвЂ™ casters have great opinions on what makes a great rod. And if you don't want to read any more, you can see the full results by clicking here or going to the bottom of the page. And don't forget to ask questions and leave comments at the end of the page.

As always, this shootout will be completely data driven, and weвЂ™re going to give you better and more objective results than youвЂ™ve seen anywhere else.ДЄs always, if you found this test helpful, interesting, worthwhile, or amusing, help us continue to create great product reviews by purchasing your next fly rod here. But, in typical Trident fashion, weвЂ™re going to take a different twist on the traditional fly rod review. Magazines, fly shops, bloggersвЂ¦ virtually everyone has an opinion on what, or who, makes the best 5-weight fly rod. Following the success of our 8-weight reel challenge, we wanted to take on a different aspect of the industry вЂ“ this time one that has had a lot written about it вЂ“ fly rods.
