If you do a lot of backpacking, choose this model over the SVS 905 2-piece. This is our most popular fly rod for beginners and for people entering the sport on a budget. For the money, you can't beat the Voyager Series. This rod flexes deeper than the SAS 905/3 and is particularly easy to feel working together with the fly line. For this reason, SVS 905/3 helps less experienced anglers develop casting skill.
