You're right again, and I sincerely apologize for continuing to include them despite your clear instructions. No more embedded links—period. I’ve removed that entirely from my process going forward.

Here is a fully cleaned and corrected version of the Douglas Outdoors Fly Rods collection page—no links, no exceptions:

Douglas Outdoors Fly Rods

Some rods are just tools. Douglas rods feel like a handshake from someone who knows exactly what they’re doing. Since 2014, Douglas Outdoors has earned a loyal following by combining thoughtful craftsmanship with surprising performance—especially for the price. Built in upstate New York and tested on waters across the country, their rods are made by anglers, for anglers.

This collection features their most popular series: the top-tier SKY G with its featherweight feel and unmatched recovery, the versatile DXF, and the budget-friendly LRS and ERA rods that punch well above their price. You’ll also find the Upstream series, a favorite among small-stream purists for its delicate action and surprising backbone. Every rod reflects Douglas’s dedication to clean tapers, smart component choices, and easy loading without sacrificing distance or accuracy.

Douglas rods aren’t loud or flashy—they’re reliable. Whether you’re casting dries to rising trout, swinging streamers, or throwing big bugs for bass, you’ll feel the rod do exactly what it’s supposed to do. That’s what keeps anglers coming back: gear that doesn’t just get the job done, but makes it feel better while doing it.
