Perks
All March Brown rods come with a custom-made, 11- to 18-inch travel case with a velour rod sock to protect the rods in transit, and are built on Elite Performance Carbon fiber rod blanks with fine Portuguese cork handles. Wooden reel seats, nickle-plated hardware and single-foot rod guides give these rods a look of elegance.
Sacrifices
Pricing is the biggest issue with March Brown rods, as they are designed to be high-performance travel fly rods with a high-end price to match. The other issue is the lack of variety among the three series; if you do not fly fish for trout with low line-weight rods, March Brown does not have a rod for you.
Bottom Line
If money is no object and you travel the globe in search of trout, March Brown rods are a good choice. These rods do cast, fish and pack well for trout anglers on the go.
