TOPFORT Fly Fishing Rod and Reel Combo Starter Kit, 4 Piece Lightweight Ultra-Portable Graphite Fly Rod Complete Starter Package with Carrier Bag

We mostly use these to catch sunfish at the lake but I have used them in Utah trout fishing. I haven't had any issues and for the price, it works well. I don't use it often but it has been great when I do use it.

I've been fishing all of my life. I grew up in Tennessee with a stream full of small bluegill, bass, and catfish right in my back yard, and more recently I've been almost myopically focused (some might say "obsessed") on targeting bass in central Texas creeks, ponds, lakes, and rivers. Until recently I had never tried fly fishing, though it always looked interesting and even relaxing.I picked up this all-in-one kit to give fly fishing a shot after watching folks at a local pond catching panfish and small bass in a totally different fashion from my spinning and casting rods. The quality and completeness of the kit's contents are impressive. Only two things were missing in my opinion: 1) any form of instructions given that this is somewhat targeted at beginners to fly fishing; 2) any type of gel/treatment to help keep the included surface flies...well...on the surface. I solved the first by watching some Mad River Outfitters videos, and I solved the second by ordering a bottle of Gink.To be candid, when I say "I solved the first", that's a bit of an overstatement. As you can see in the attached photo, I rigged things TOTALLY incorrectly on my first outing! I tried switching to right hand retrieve but didn't re-spool, so the reel was basically backwards. Nonetheless, I managed to get three sunfish on my first try including the one in the photo, and I also had several exciting topwater blow-ups from small bass, though I didn't land any of them (yet!).I've since fixed that issue and fished again, and the rod and reel really do work wonderfully. I've started to get the feel for the oscillation required to cast a fly rod, though I imagine that I still look far from graceful to anyone with even a semi-trained eye!Anyway, this kit really is a great way to get into fly fishing. It's very lightweight for what it contains and therefore easy to carry along to the water. I've used the included forceps to remove these tiny fly hooks from the bluegills' equally tiny mouths, and the snippers are just great for trimming the leader line after tying on a fly. The included flies definitely get attention. I'm looking forward to many more outings with this setup and think it will become a key part of my overall fishing obsession going forward.

Solid travel rod for the money. Easily assembled and broken down. Not the best quality but it gets the job done. Haven’t caught anything over 2lbs with it so far.

I bought this fly fishing rod as a gift for my husband. He has never owned a fly fishing rod before and this was the perfect rod for him to start with! He said it was easy to use and perfect for a beginner. It is lightweight and easy to travel with!

It is very good set to start fly fishing. Set has almost everything you need to start. You need to buy floatant and catching net. If you go into water, then waders. If you are really beginner, then you should learn what you need and how to fly fish online. Rod may break if you don't follow retrieval or catch too big fish. I caught fish from very first cast. and many fish thereafter.

I bought this as someone who had never fly fished. I liked it because it was affordable and came with all the starter items you need and they all fit in the carrying case easily. The rod itself is easy to assemble and the flys that come with it seem to be pretty good quality. I would recommend this rod to beginners and people exploring fly fishing for the first time.

Se me rompió a la segunda trucha que cojo una de menos de media libra se quebró en l segunda sección más gruesa totalmente decepcionado

I'll give a mediocre rating because I just got the product and haven't had a chance to catch a fish on it. That's the real test. I don't want to give you a fabulous rating and then the rod breaks after hooking a 12-inch fish.It would be better to give your customers a bit more time. All I can say right now is that it arrived ahead of schedule and it appears to be a sound product.
