Everyone makes mistakes, of course, but those mistakes can cost you time and cause frustration when fly fishing. When you’re out in the water, the fewer mistakes you make, the more you can catch. Whether you’re a beginner or expert,...

I picked this kit up after I picked up a euro nymph shorty fly line to use with my standard 9’ 5wt and decided that wasn’t going to cut it. Everything about the combo is great, I just think some tweaks to kit would really make this kit an even better deal!
The rod and reel look and feel great. I haven’t used any other euro-specific rods but this seems to work pretty well. The sensitivity is fine and I can tell much better when I’m in contact with the bottom compared to when I was using my 9’ 5wt. I’ve caught bigger fish in current and it has a good backbone. The reel also looks and feels nice and has fought trout nicely.
The kit itself could be designed for euro nymphing a bit better. The fly line is just a standard floating weight forward 3wt, not a euro line and the leader is a tapered 5x leader, not a euro leader. This is my ONLY complaint, it would have been nice to have a euro leader and euro nymph specific fly line included.
Everything about this kit is still awesome, the flies included are quality, and I would still absolutely buy it again!
I have not got to use this yet, but it looks like a really nice, and complete package for the cost. I am looking forward to trying it out in the river.
Combo arrived quickly and was complete. Every part of the combo is good quality and had 5 rainbows in hand within 20 minutes ( Caddis fly in March, included in combo) I purchased 2 and definitely recommend for any one looking to get started to get this combo read the description before you purchase to match the flies pack to your area ( Northwest pack for me, floating line) so far it's been a great fly rod and reel.
The shorter rod makes for easier access to overgrown small creeks.
Better for casting with accuracy in small spaces.
I got this kit as a gift and I am absolutely satisfied with the quality, assortment and products included. I am planning on getting other choices as time goes by, since it is a great equipment for casting lovers.
