Wild Water's A-series now has a reel suitable for spey and switch rods!

The frame of this die-cast reel is extremely sturdy for heavy use.

The aluminum fly reel has a center disc drag with a comfortable drag adjustment knob.

The spool has plenty of capacity for large diameter heads on two-handed lines.

Material: Die Cast Aluminum

Color: Black

Overall Diameter: 114 mm

Weight: 7.3 ounces

Preinstalled with 30# backing and 300 grain line and 12' 0X tapered leader.

I don't use drag on my fly reels often so I can't say how well it does in a fight, but the line is definitely a shooting line. With an okay double haul on the old switch rod I have it's an easy 50ft-60ft cast with no false casting. It can also be used for scandi/Skagit casting. Still trying to figure out which one works better for it since I'm new to two handed casting overall, but I think it was a good purchase. Worst case scenario, you got a large reel with pretty decent drag (tested by pulling out line to cast), and some backing already on it. If you don't like the line take it off and put something else on it. Good deal compared to bare reels these days.

Awesome reel

I had ordered a 11ft 5wt switch rod from wild water and put on a reel I had but the steelheads I caught this year burned my drag up ,so I purchased the reel that wild water recommended I should have done that when I ordered my rod. What a awesome reel it balanced my rod out and has stopped any steelheads that I have caught very smooth and very dependable thank you wild waters for great products

It's a good kit for beginners and a good deal for the price

Watch the rise.

Heidi was prompt and diligent in ensuring the proper address was input. Package arrived on time and was carefully packaged. Hope to tempt some smallies, white bass, largemouth and whatever grabs a popper or streamer.

Good starter fly rods

I gave these rods to a casting instructor to give to his students and had nothing of the sort even tough they lived on an Oregon premium steelhead river. I have not seen the rods but was told they were good rods.

These are the perfect rod for your youngster to get started with that is actually castable for their body size, they also make a great small stream rod for any angler. The quality for the price really impressed me.

Great starting point!

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!
