Wild Water Fly Fishing 7 Foot, 4-Piece, 3/4 Weight Fly Rod Complete Fly Fishing Rod and Reel Combo Starter Package

This is my second purchase from Wild Water, I did not buy this brand for the Warranty or Customer Service. Do not buy this brand for the Warranty or Customer Service. I would recommend this brand due to the quality/value of the rod, reel, and case that I am unable to find anywhere close to this price point (less than $100). Wild Water is still to contact me about whether they can replace (at my expense) just the tip section of the rod that broke due to my negligence. After making numerous phone calls during their normal business hours, I left a message without Therefore, I was able to purchase another package with them because the value of the product was so great. In addition to repairing the tip of my original rod, I am incredibly satisfied with the performance of everything in the The reason I purchased the 7ft 3/4 package is because in my eight foot kayak, I have either a spin cast or a fly rod set up for fishing. In the kayak, I found it too difficult to manage fly changes and sometimes tangles with the 9ft 5/6 rod. Additionally, on a recent trip to Colorado, I found the 9ft difficult to fish well on small streams because of its short cast distance. The 9ft 5/6 rod has proven to be very effective on regular streams and on bluffs as well as any type of lake 7'3/4 package is perfect for me when I want to do a short project when the 9'5"6" is In my opinion, both rods have good action, but the 7ft 3/4 has a much smoother casting action and places the fly much easier. It is just the right size to fit my 8-foot kayak as well as small streams with limited space. In both the 7' 3" and 9' 5" and 6' 8", the leaders follow the same configuration as those of the 5x weight, and they are very durable. Basic and well-designed, these flies include a lot of information. This is me The barbs on all of my hooks and two of my nine flies snapped as I was taking them down. My reel is the same as the reel on my other rod, only on a much In the case of fly rod reels, they are simply devices for storing fly lines. They are not intended to serve the same purpose as bait or spin cast reels, and are not used in the same way. A drag is used to adjust the tension while stripping a line primarily used for casting than for fighting a fish but can be used for retrieval as well. In the package, there are nippers and zingers that are very low-cost but would be useful to those who are new to fly fishing. I would likely know I had a sufficient number of kicks if I purchased the 7ft 3/4 as my first purchase. On my fishing expeditions, I find it convenient to have both with me. This allows me to switch as necessary and adapt to the situation. Had it not been for the unsatisfactory customer service that I received when a simple call back was requested, I would have given the company a solid 5. 0 star rating.

Being that I don't skimp on ANY purchase, I do not "cheap out". As a result, I am sapping my savings account, since I usually only buy top quality items The phrase is It is important for me to use top-of-the-line gear for my hobbies, since cheap tools can quickly ruin a great hunting or fishing experience. The Wild Water Package was prohibitively expensive, so I was hesitant to purchase it. The reason I preferred an Orvis setup was the fact that I have used Orvis products for upland hunting and am confident in their However, the positive reviews over the Wild Water package intrigued me and I decided to break my own rules and purchase the cheap set of fly fishing tackle to become more proficient. This is the first time I've been paid off in my life! The rod and reel pleasantly surprised me even before I opened the box. With the carrying case, you won't be able to bang your rod and reel around or ruin them while you hike out to your next spot, because it's solidly built and fits the rod and reel snugly within. Well done on your first day. There is no twist as the rod is light as a feather, but very well balanced at the same time. Akin to extending your forearm, it feels like an extension of your hand. Additionally, it is very easy to handle The supplied line makes it easy to control how much line to load on the rod, which made learning to cast pretty simple. With this setup, I was able to cast quite accurately within a short time. I love the reel because it's buttery smooth. No grittiness is apparent as it spins like a top. I do not foresee having any problems controlling the drag even when there is a fish on the line.

The flies and fly box are another pleasant surprise. The box is well made, opening and closing smoothly, and snapping shut solidly. I am not an expert at tying flies, but I think they appear very well tied. On top of that, the hooks are very There are not enough words to describe how highly I recommend this set to beginners. If you could afford better furniture, you would buy this set rather than throw it out when you had access to It is my intention to use this setup for some time, and hopefully I will move on to something a bit more ritzy in the future. If not I will definitely hand this over to a friend or relative to get them going!.

My name is Thomas Callaway and I fly fish in Georgia. Especially on the very small streams that contain stocked trout around here, this light, short rod performs well. The same company also makes a 9' rod with 5wt and it works great as In response to my broken tip section on the 5Wt, I was sent a new section as soon as I called (the same day I called). For good quality rods at a low cost, I highly recommend this shop. There are no Sage or Scott rods and reels in this set. However, I am not on a trophy fishery. It is recommended that you try the products and services of this company.

There is a lack of quality. The rod snapped at the third section after being used once. The fish I worked with before were smaller river perch, but one time I caught a one-pounder. The rod snapped on a smallmouth hooking up that weighed five pounds. Knowing that a mere raise of the rod to allow the hook to set could cause a rod failure made it difficult for me to believe that this could occur. In looking at the rod blank after it was broken, it was clear it was a poor quality rod. There is no point in buying these rod products unless your goal is to have a throwaway Since I've used Cabela rods for years and never had an issue with them, I would recommend them to anyone. Don't buy from this manufacturer unless you are prepared to spend more money. It's easy, simple, and at the end of the day you'll enjoy fishing more than you ever imagined.

The fly colors are a lot nicer and the price was right so I bought this combo over the others. I had a few times of the leader line snapping on me. The knot did not belong to me, according to 90% of me. As a result, I cut the line at a point where it was stronger (the line The rod is strong, it did not fall apart when I bent it. The In retrospect, the 9' would have been a better choice. I have no experience casting a fly, so at fly fishing I am terrible. There is a stutter on the drag on reel when I have a fish on it. It will be lubricated and I will see if it Having used the parachute Adams fly, it worked well. (I pinched the barb to do catch and release) After hooking and releasing a good trout, it unhooked (I hooked another one). As well as these two hits, I had two more. The fly is good, the rod is good, and the reel isn't.
