Questions & Answers

On a rod of this size and weight, what size fly should be used Would you be able to recommend a leader? How else do I fish? Also, do I need any other equipment?

You don't necessarily need lures in this outfit to fish. All you need is flies. For trout, a 4X or 5X Leader would be an extra item. Please call us at the fly shop for information on the flies. Our team can help you select the ideal mix based on your 937- 0044 is the number to the fly shop This is 434.

What brand of rod is this? Is it imported or made by Orvis?

I am glad to hear from you. The Nelsons It is an import that both the Encounter and the Clearwater rods are made of. The rest of the rods are made by Orvis, located I appreciate you contacting me. He was an influential literary theorist

Could you please let me know if the case has room for additional fly and lures and ?

Definitely, there is a foam box for the fly box and leaders. To increase the amount of usable space, you can customize and cut the foam. Located in Kalispell, Montana, Mystique Fly Shop sells fly fishing supplies.

In the description, it specified that the rod measures 7' in length. This is the length you will use for the spin cast rod. Will there be another section to make it 9' for casting?

I would like to thank you for your question, Dustin. No matter which section of the rod you use, the rod length will be 7 foot, whether you're using a spin rod or a fly rod. I hope this answers your question. Thank you. You will have an amazing time on the water. Good luck! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I would like to extend my best regards to you in that regard, You can purchase Orvis Outfitters gear at a variety of retailers

The trunk set is good, but it's not on par with your expectations
4/5

There have been a dozen times I have used this (both spin and fly). I think this is a very good set to have in your car, however it is not enough to replace a good quality fly rod (the rod has difficulty throwing medium sized flies). In light of all that, I consider it a good backup or car set for those times that you wish you had a rod handy, and I have caught my fair share of trout with it as well. However, keep in mind that there are drawbacks to the method.

The best I've ever experienced
5/5

A couple of weekends ago, I went out with this. I have a fly rod that casts almost as well as my 5wt 9ft rod. Obviously this is a 7ft rod, but it does not take anything away from it. It casts fine for me, as far as spin casting is concerned. It was a nice rainbow trout that I caught. As everything else I own is a medium heavy, I was a little concerned about how flexible it was. As a Cormorant dived underwater, the rod almost snapped in half due to the hook in its leg. In Rod's hands, it was as if nothing had happened. I really like the way the case is I feel secure packing and traveling with it.

It is of good fly rod with a weight of 5
4/5

It is of good Despite being a portable rod, the fly rod is 5 weight, which is a bit heavy for a rod this size. In this case, the odds are in your favor To get everything into it, all you need is a degree in engineering and the material is soft with foam to protect the rod and reel. It will be interesting to see if the extra money was worth it in the long run. It is very similar to the Daiwa we have had for years and it is about the same size. There's a $100 savings.

The combo looks great for fishing in the city
5/5

A nice set to keep in your car or carry with you while you travel. In addition to my sling bag, I carry an essential fishing kit. There is nothing special about the fly reel or the spin reel from Orvis. A surprising amount of balance is achieved for each reel by the rod, making it responsive and tight. My favorite ways to spend a morning are on the small streams or to cast a line in the.

Fly fishing rods are designed to have great action, but they are less effective for casting
3/5

When cast using a conventional light reel and 4lb line, the rod has great action for fly fishing, but not so great for casting. During the test I am aware that the poor casting may be caused by the fly fishing style rings and the I think this idea is great, but I can only see it working for fly fishing.

The line on the spinning reel is poor
3/5

The rod, reel, and case are fine. What is not OK is the line that runs on the spinning reel. Storing the item incorrectly may be due to it being old or The seller has not yet replied to my request to open a new line. Orvis has let me down in the past. The fly rod might be a better option for them.

I would not recommend it for backpackers due to the oversized case
4/5

A good quality fishing rod and reel. While the case itself is of good quality, it's too big to be carried around in a backpack.
