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