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