Love the action. Great action and strength makes for a fantastic experience. Primary use is on the river from a boat for trout. Throws dry and small streamers easily. Great rod for beginners and advanced casters alike.

This rod has everything that top end Euro nymphing rod must have! Ultra light , responsive tip and strong butt section. Down locking reel seat, stripping guide closer to handle and two snake guides on tip section. First time on the water I could feel subtle takes and could control big trout out of the strong current! Amazing feel! I can surely say this is now my favorite Euro rod.

I spent a long time figuring out my next fly rod purchase. I already own an Orvis rod, so I wanted to see what else is out there and I am so happy I did. The Douglas DXF Fly Rod (9'6" 6wt) came with a great warranty, which was a must have for me. The rod action is perfect for my casting abilities and the touch is fantastic for my smallmouth bass lake fishing. I can swing a variety of setups from nymphing rigs for rivers to bass poppers. I love the design as well - it is sleek and looks the part. I also love that the DXF 9'6WT comes with a saltwater grade handle, so I plan on using it for schoolies this fall.

I bought a DFX 6wt a few years ago and I’ve never looked back. I even snapped the rod in half, reframed the lifetime warranty, and at only the cost of shipping I got a brand new rod. It’s hard to beat these rods

I own two Douglas rods, a 10' 2wt and 10'6" 6wt switch. Both are exceptional rods. My 2wt has become my go-to Euro rod set up and has handled some large fish including this thick 26" lake trout. I ended up breaking the tip (handling error on my part, no fault of the rod). I called the company on a Monday and by Thursday I had a brand new tip section. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate. Great rods with outstanding service.

I bought the 9’#5 DXF for my wife’s Christmas present. I currently own the 9’#5 Sky and a 10’#4 euro DXF. We finally had a chance to get out on a river this past weekend and on her 2nd cast she got a beautiful 22” rainbow. The rod handled it with ease. It is a very forgiving rod as she doesn’t get to fish as much as I do. She is able to cast it and even get a great roll cast and put the fly where she needs it. I would highly recommend is rod to anyone looking for a GREAT mid priced fly rod.

Whether you’re new to fishing and in the market for your first rod or just getting another to add to your collection. This is another great rod buy Douglas. The DXF has the ability to deliver accurate casts over short to medium distances which makes it an ideal rod for most. Being classed with a moderately fast action it is more a true medium if compared to the SKY. This gives the fisherman the versatility to cast everything from a dry to a streamer. Looking at the DXF as a whole I would say it’s a great all-around rod and it’s a great purchase when compared to other rods in its price range. Well done Douglas the DXF will make many an angler very happy landing fish after fish.

The 9’5wt DXF is one of the more impressive mid-priced rods I’ve fished. The blanks are rolled in Korea and quality is on par with other mid-priced rods, even some that produce their blanks domestically. It has the backbone necessary to play and fight large fish, but a soft-enough tip to avoid breaking off light tippets. If you prefer slower rods or are looking for a rod for delicate presentations of tiny dry flies, you’ll likely find better choices elsewhere. But as a do-it-all performer, the DXF makes a worthy addition to a rod collection. In fact, few rods fish as well as the DXF without compromising quality or demanding a price tag similar to my mortgage payment.

Douglas put together an absolute winner with the DXF. It’s a lively, fun, light, well-built Euro nymphing rod that fishes better than sticks twice its modest $395 price. I wish the reel seat were different, and guide spacing could be improved, but overall, this is just about the best Euro nymphing rod I’ve fished to date.

The first Euro rod I bought myself was a Douglas DXF 11′ 3-weight. I still have it and still fish it regularly. Douglas makes some of the best rods on the market (I’m in love with their Sky G series) and the DXF offers exceptional performance at its price point. The price varies slightly depending on which model you get, although I would have to recommend the 11′ 3-weight. Even on smaller streams, the extra reach of the rod doesn’t get me tangled up in trees any more than usual. What I love most about the DXF, though, is the reserve power packed into the lower sections. Hook into a big fish with this rod, and you’ll have no problem steering it through heavy current or away from logjams. Add to that its excellent build quality, and it’s easy to see why the DXF has so many devoted fans.

Go to rod for lakes and rivers because it has sensitivity and backbone. Casts easily and effectively short and long.

I bought a Douglas DXF 10' 2wt about 4 weeks ago on a whim. I was looking for a light weight euro rod and to be honest Douglas never crossed my mind. I'm really glad I did! This rod is a beast. I've put some great fish in the net, including landlocked salmon in the 20+ inch range, as well as a 20" smallie and several trout in the 16" to 18" range.I never felt under gunned and this rod had both the flex to protect light tippett and the backbone to land large, aggressive fish. I'm honestly surprised at the level of performance. It's light weight and sensitive put it on par with much more expensive rods. If you're on the fence about Douglas, get off and jump, you won't be disappointed.
