J. C. Wells –
Chris and Stu have collaborated to create one of the finest rods I’ve ever had the pleasure of casting. This one is MADE for fishing the Silver King…3-piece, alive in your hand, strong butt section, and more than capable at both long, and short finesse casts. Well-done guys!!

I have used Chris’s rods for sometime now and find them to be the best casting rod I have ever used, and I’ve cast them all. I have his rods from 8-12 wt and all are delights to cast and even better when battling saltwater beast, and beautiful as well. I highly recommend his Stu Apte Series.
Thank you Chris and I look forward continued use of your rods.

I have now commissioned Chris Reilly and Reilly Rod Crafters to make me a custom 5 wt and 8 wt fly rods. These will be my ninth and tenth Reilly rods. Along with lively actions and fish fighting strength, these rods are beautiful works of art. Additionally, the service offered by Chris and his staff is simply outstanding. I ordered my 5 wt just 10 days before leaving for Montana and to my surprise, Chris said it would be shipped in time to accompany me. That’s great service. Thank you Chris and staff for your many courtesies.
