Review: Amazing starter fly fishing rod - 2019 - I took this rod out with me fishing this year for the first time, and found another Fly Fisherman on the river that was willing to give me some pointers. Firstly he complimented the rig, and said it was nice for a starter fly fishing rod. I then watched him do the exact same casts that he was doing with his expensive rod. A day later, I had been practicing on rivers, and lakes, and I caught multiple beautiful Rainbow Trout on this rod. I would suggest finding someone to give you some instruction, and make sure to understand which fly's are in season. This is an awesome little fly rod to start with! Update: Spring 2020 - I took this fly rod back out to a cabin that we were staying at that had a pond with bluegill and bass. It did great at catching both, a year later I am still extremely satisfied with this purchase! You honestly get so much for your money, and it catches fish just fine once you learn the mechanics of fly fishing, which I have honestly fallen in love with! I am going to buy another to keep as a backup, and to teach friends on! Update Fall 2020 - I have taken this amazing little fly fishing combo out 2 more times in June and September of this year and caught beautiful trout on it both times! Still very happy with this amazing purchase!!!
Review: Great pole - Got these for my nephews when we went camping on the river. Everybody caught a fish for the price. These are a great deal. We made memories. These are a great starter fishing poll

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many flies are included**
A: About 6 poppers, worthless.  Do what I did, get a dozen flies for $6 on eBay.

**Q: Double taper or weight forward?**
A: According to the line numbers it comes with a level #6 Floating line (LT6F).  You'll want WF6F, Weight Forward #6 Floating.  Easiest to learn casting on.

**Q: What type line is included....level, weigh forward, tapered?**
A: This has a level fishing line.  This makes it more difficult for the beginner fly fisherman to learn how to cast. I confirmed this with the manufacturer.

**Q: Is the rod great for taking out of the country fishing**
A: I wouldn't fish for anything bigger than maybe a 5 pound bass tops. I got a 4 pounder on mine and it seemed like a stretch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's okay for a cheaper setup. Good value overall.
*by R***Z on June 24, 2020*

A little about me. I fly fish, by that I mean I fly fish almost 100% of the time. Multiple days a week, sometimes 7 days a week. I purchased this fly rod, not because I needed it or even wanted it. But, because I often teach people and some ask about cheaper setups. It had been a long time since I tried one. So I purchased a few cheaper setups, this one included. Addressing a few other reviews first. It is a click and paw reel. No drag. The reel itself will spool either direction. To flip the retrieve simply let out all the line, flip the reel around, then reel back in. To many peoples surprise, the reel is the LEAST important part of the setup. When fly fishing unless it is a huge fish...you aren't using the reel at all. It is more of a line storage device. Your finger does all the work (or hand on the reel) . This rod isn't made to cast large flies or in salt water. So, a drag isn't needed. I tried a few ways (on purpose) and I think the people complaining about too much line coming out and "backlashing" are routing the fly line over the frame support instead of under it. It is acting like a wheel. (See photo in the add) route the fly line the same). Casting, while the price is very fair for what you get. Don't expect to make ultra long casts with this setup. You can get it out fine but I suspect those having issues need lessons. I can easily almost cast to the backing on this rod, though it's small arbour reel makes reeling it in a task. I didn't measure it but it isn't a standard 90' fly line. Maybe 50ft. That is more than enough to be productive. I prefer a 9' rod myself because I often I from a boat and have no reason to sacrifice leverage with a shorter rod. Good times for a shorter rod would be creek fishing for example. Remember no matter the cost of a fly rod, they will all break. You cannot fight a fish close to the rod (high sticking) and a lot of breakages are due to flies hitting the rod during the cast. Usually caused by a bad cast, heavy flies, or wind. I found this rod personally a little slow action for me. I prefer a much faster action rod and think most beginners would be better off using a medium/fast rod. Overall, a good value for the money and though it takes a little more effort to get a cast, at least for me. It is usable and functional. If you are seriously getting into fly fishing I would look at a $200 combo from a few of the better brands. Otherwise, this is a decent starter setup but too soft of a rod for most beginners in my opinion. I think with softer rods, you need to be a better caster to begin with.
