Notes:
None of the similarly priced rods come close to the Perfect Fly Superior Five in terms of quality components. Only the Scott M9054 and the Sage
One Elite compare in that respect and they are respectively $200 and $600 higher in price. This page list the components being used on the
Superb Five fly rod.
Most of the above rods don't compare to the Perfect Fly in terms of performance. None of them are superior to the Perfect Five with respect to
performance.
