Browning Fishing Rods (Review)

Browning is well-known for quality hunting and outdoorsman gear, and Browning Fishing Rods are getting a positive reputation of their own as well. Every outdoorsman knows that Browning is a name that is both trusted and well-known for quality and precision craftsmanship.

What many anglers still do not know is that Browning makes a spectacular freshwater rod and one that rivals the best in the fishing industry. On the forefront of their fish and freshwater rod lineup is this Citori Spinning rod. This fantastic and hand-crafted precision instrument brings a bit of rugged elegance to the world of freshwater fishing. This Citori Spinning rod is custom built with the same outstanding craftsmanship and precision standards that the Browning Company is known for.

The line of fresh water rods from Browning is highlighted by the spectacular Citori family of rods. The uncompromising quality of any Browning rod is demonstrated in the craftsmanship of this superb range of rods. What makes the line of the Citori Browning rods so sought after and prized, is the combination of graphite and fiberglass, which is extremely durable yet as sensitive as an ultra light!

Migrating from the excellent Citori freshwater rod line to the increasingly popular Browning fishing Silaflex Trigger rods, performance does not drop off at all. One of the most desired of all the freshwater fishing rods on the market today is the Silaflex offering from Browning. In the 1960s, Browning fishing pioneered the spectacular development of a new line of fiberglass rods, thus creating an instant legend.

These rods are crafted through a high-density tubular fiberglass process which back then, was the most advanced technology of the day. The pole combines the ideal composition of light weight, strength, sensitivity and the all-important flexibility factor. The feel that I got when I held my first Browning Silaflex is recalled to this very day. It was the same feeling I had when I picked up that Browning shotgun over and under what I was 13. There is something to be said about a quality piece of fishing equipment and this is what the company called Browning is all about.

When it comes to tackling those big bullheaded salmon and steelhead off the rocks in the Pacific Northwest, it is time to wrap your hands around a Browning Fishing Six River Salmon/Steelhead spinning rods combo. Since salmon and steelhead fishing techniques have evolved way beyond the traditional drifting methods employed by fishermen of the past, so is the Six River series as it continues to grow and evolve.

All of the Six Rivers rod models for freshwater are built on sensitive 36 million PSI graphic matrix blanks and feature the highly desired and popular Fuji aluminum oxide guides and Fuji graphite real seats. When holding a Six River series freshwater rod from Browning, one can feel the quality and precision has put into every single unit. By having cam-lock tighteners, the on-the-fly adjustment option gives the freshwater anglers that much more of an advantage over the bullish salmon and steelhead of the great Pacific Northwest.

I fished the  Texas lakes or two seasons in the late 1980’s and that was where I had my first experience with a Six Rivers Browning fishing rod. Needless to say it was not my last adventure with one of the best rods in the world. I had big success catching feisty rainbow and brown trout (and other freshwater species) which inhabit that fantastic rivers in Texas.

Check out a Browning Fishing Rod today, it is one of the finest on the market and one of the best balanced rods you will ever hold.
