I received my next 360 today looks and feels great, light as a feather. Looking forward to trying it out on the river with the dry fly.

Well I've been out twice now with my new next 360, my first impression I didn't like it as I couldn't get on with the casting. I then realised my mistake I was giving the rod way too much power. Once I eased off it was an absolute dream to cast with. It takes absolutley no effort to cast a 3.5# level line. I think a 3# would be even better.
A like the grip it's very comfortable It's also extremely light to hold. The finish of the rod is more of a matt which I also like.
I've caught a number of wild brownies on the dry using this rod and a few on the free fly set that arrived with it. A 1/2 pound brownie feels like a shark. I'm not sure what’s' going to happen if I accidentally hook into a sea trout ( this can quite often happen on my local river ) but it's the ideal tool for fishing spiders and dries for brownies.
I highly recommend this rod.

Hello Paul, NEXT rod is soft and was originally designed to fish with lightest lines and flies.It is not targeted to the trophy fishing. Despite this, none of the rod of the first issue had not been broken by fish. I'm glad you like it and grateful for your kind review.

I've been out a lot more with the NEXT since my last post; I had one red letter day when I caught 15 wild brownies fishing dries and probably lost a dozen more (barbless hooks). The wild brownies on my river are generally small a pound being a monster so the Next is ideal for this type of fishing. I wouldn't intentionally target sea trout on a T rod but they do come along from time to time in the day light when I'm tenkara fishing so far the T rod has handled them no problem, but the ones I've had have been on an Iwana which has a bit more back bone. Up until I started tenkara fishing I'd never caught a sea trout in day light. They are really difficult to catch on my river in light. It spices thing up a bit when a big bow wave appears behind your fly.

New TRY is a superb rod (see my comments on Some Great Rods thread).

If it's as good as the Try 360 6:4 & I'm sure it will be, then it will be a real winner!

It is the same shape concept, technology, materials and quality, only 10 grams heavier, than TryTenkara 360 6:4. It is targeted to larger rivers and bigger fish. Also great to switch dry/wet flies and nymph techniques, if needed.

Have you thought of a 330 version as in my area we have lots of small well wooded streams & several friends that I've introduced to Tenkara have been asking me about shorter rods than the 12', 360 cm rods that they started with? I often carry an 11' Iwana in my Tenkara quiver.

I have it on my drawing desk now. Hope to produce it for the season Y14.
