Product Description
The Compass series began as a way to get people even more affordably into the Allen brand. Now, with this most recent release, the Compass brings solid performance and head-turning looks to a very affordable price point. The medium fast taper excels at distance and handles heavy loads exceptionally. The improved grip is now more durable, while the larger guides not only make stringing up the rod easier, but allow for loop-to-loop connections and backing knots to pass through more fluidly. As far as line pairings go, the Compass is ideally suited to lines like our Force Taper, as the short head on the line brings out the best in the rod. Let the Compass guide you to your next on-the-water successes!

Landing Bigger Fish
While I am not the most experienced fisherman, I do have a nice selection of rods. I gave this rod 5 stars based on value. Price is right, casting is good and it seems to make my landing of bigger fish more manageable. Can’t ask for more than that!

Compass Rod is a great value
I'm a beginner at fly fishing and was struggling to cast when using a fast action rod. Decided to give this rod a try since it's a slower action and pricing was good. I received the rod and it looked well built and I couldn't wait to give it a try. Wow, what a difference it has made for me. The slightly slower action is more forgiving for a novice caster and has made casting a lot more enjoyable. I plan to use this rod as my primary rod and am very happy with this purchase. Great rod for the money!

Great products, and good service!
I bought the Compass 8 wt for a trip to Ireland. I'm very pleased with the rod. It handled wind, rain and fair weather with no trouble. It casts great, and had enough backbone to land a few very respectable wild browns with ease. The folks at Allen were extremely helpful in shipping out the rod on short notice. The rod was also a pleasure on a trip to Altmar for some big fish from the Salmon River. This is my fourth Allen rod and my big rod for big trips. You won't be sorry. The rods and reels are a great value.

More than satisfied with Allen rods and the service
I bought an 8 weight Compass for a trip to Ireland. Allen staff were superb to work with for special handling on short notice. The rod is powerful and so smooooth. Landed four nice brown trout in an Irish Lough and the rod was there when the line was going out, and coming back in with a 20 inch wild brown.. Save yourself some time and money if your looking for a nice rod at an outstanding value, and check out these rods. This is my fourth Allen rod and they have all performed well for what they are designed to do. The staff at Allen know what they are doing. My daughter uses a 4 weight Compass that she has "adopted" from me after I let her try it and she liked it better than her more expensive rod....
