I used Oracle 2 3wt 10ft for approx one season. It's not an expensive rod, but you get only what you pay for. It's not comparable with high-end rods such as Hanak, Orvis, Hardy, etc.It's quite soft so casting is easy, just tip recovery takes a bit more with nymp setup. Build quality is ok. Nothing fantastic as from two rods only one was straight. I also like (and prefer) installed snake eyes for simple line assembly.I bought it as I loved Agility and Oracle 2 (3wt 7ft) for small rivers which I can recommend as a universal inexpensive small stream rod.Currently, I'm using a more sensitive Maximumcatch Ultra-lite Fly Rod 1wt 6ft - I own a kit. The reel is too cheap and broke after 6 months. The rod and line are still fantastic. I accidentally broke my Oracle 3wt 10ft so I searched for a replacement. This time I wished for a faster recovery but the same length. To compare I ordered in the same price category:1. Maximumcatch Performance Nymph Rod, 2wt 10ft 4 Pieces2. Maximumcatch Performance Nymph Rod, Travel 3wt 10ft 6 Pieces3. Oracle 2 4wt 10ftBoth Maximumcatch are faster rods, well balanced and light. Only downside is a too-long distance between the reel and the first eye. This affects the line management negatively in my opinion. Build quality is slightly better than Shakespeare's. The rods are straight, all in line, nice color, and good cork quality.My Shakespeare #4wt has the tip bent approx. 1cm to the left. I can live with it temporarily as I plan to buy Hanak USG 299 this summer.The action of Oracle 4wt 10ft is medium slow - rod tip recovers 40-50% faster compared to 3wt.For an idea, I use the #3 DT line from HANAK for dry flies with long Spanish leader; the #4 WF floating line for wet flies or the Maxima 4lb + HANAK Duo 0.25mm indicator (really good visibility) for nymphing setup. The casting distance is approx. 25-30m (I'm still improving), rod length helps the presentation.The price is excellent so it's really difficult to beat Oracle here. If you're searching for an inexpensive but solid 10ft rod you've found it. #3 for softer action, #4 for longer reach.
