What started yesterday with a message from my contact at Cabela's that the C.G.R. Series would be available for purchase soon was quickly updated later that afternoon that the fly rods were live on the website and the warehouse was already filling pre-orders.
The C.G.R. Series is offered as three piece fly rods (tube included) in five lengths/line weights from three to at an unbelievable $99 price point.
C.G.R. Models:
359-3 5'9" Three Weight
466-3 6'6" Four Weight
570-3 7' Five Weight
676-3 7'6" Six Weight
876-3 7'6" Eight Weight
It's great to see yet another affordable option in fiberglass and I'm looking forward to getting hands on the entire C.G.R. Series soon. Look for a full review in the coming weeks.

What a pretty rod. If I hadn't already blown $100 on 4 of their on sale rods before Christmas, I'd have to try one myself. I'm eager to hear your review, though - and could maybe get one this summer!

7'6" #8, I'm thinking that rod has a spot for me. I hope it is in a 3pc.Give it a workout with big bulky heavy flies for me.

Owl...I saw that you took advantage of the big sale. One of these glass sticks should be worth adding to the collection when you get the money together.
RFMcD...it is a three piece. From what I gather from the peeps at Cabela's is that it's a short eight weight rocket which would be great for big flies.
Unfortunately, they dont have them in the stores and don't know when they will ship. I went to the store in PA to check them out, and was one of many to ask about them.
