Overview
A newer fly angler gets a full outfit here: a four piece graphite rod, a Crosswater reel with dacron backing, Rio Mainstream fly line, a tapered leader and a nylon travel case.
Everything arrives together and ready for a fly of the buyer choice, which saves assembling an outfit part by part. The medium fast rod handles dry flies, dry droppers, buggers and nymphs. The limitation is scope: the listing is aimed at trout in freshwater.
Who it's for
Trout anglers who travel light and want a boxed outfit that fishes straight away. Experienced casters who prefer to choose each component separately, and anyone fishing heavy water, will want something different.
Pros and cons
- Complete rod, reel, line and leader
- Four piece rod suits travel
- Nylon travel case included
- Carbon disc drag on the reel
- Aimed at trout, not heavier species
- Line capacity entry is hard to read
Performance notes
A medium fast action bends deeper into the blank under load, which presents dry flies softly yet leaves backbone for weighted rigs like buggers. The carbon disc drag releases line smoothly when a fish runs. A composite reel frame holds weight down in a travel outfit.
