I am considering building a 9weight to replace a TFO BVK . I am looking for a less stiff fast action rod that can punch through the wind with intermediate line. Has anyone fished the F909 or F908 and can give me there opinion on it. Fishing for Albies and bone fish Re: Has anyone built a rod using MHX F909 thoughts?

Have not fished the MHX fly rods, but they get good reviews overall.
If you are looking for a more medium to medium-fast action rod, less fast than a BVK, I would try an updated IM6 blank like a Batson Unity, or take a look at the Rod Geeks blanks. basically a St. Croix Imperial.. I am finishing a NFC 9' 8wt and it is pretty fast, but you may want to look at the NFC Classic blanks. Re: Has anyone built a rod using MHX F909 thoughts?

Fish the 8wt for Bones Bahamas and Christmas Island, does the job wonderfully! Re: Has anyone built a rod using MHX F909 thoughts?
