Captain Mark Freeman owns this product
I love pounding the banks with Salmon Flies, Hoppers and Streamers and the 9' 6 wt. DXF is my go-to rod. It has a medium fast action with plenty of power to deliver bigger flies with precision into a stiff wind but slow enough to be easy casting for beginners and experts alike. It is very light... Read more
Ideal for
  • The 9' 6 wt. is a great rod for bigger waters, larger flies and streamers.
  • Unmatched preformance in the 20' to 60' range.
  • Beautiful fit and finish. Wood reel seat and top quality components.
Not ideal for
  • Not a good saltwater/long distance rod.

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
