Fly Fishing Combo's Checklist
 |
Don't Be Cheap. There are
many combo's best left on foreign shores, as they are cheap and won't
work especially well for anyone but the kids chasingn bluegills in
your local pond. If you're serious about getting a decent "outfit,"
don't buy the least expensive one you find. |
|
Make Sure You Get What You Want. Combo's
are a great way to save money. But...often you end up getting things
you don't want. While it's not a big deal if a tool comes with the
outfit that you don't need...it IS a big deal if the combo outfit
doesn't contain the fly rod you want. |
|
Price Things Out Individually, Too. Sometimes,
you save no money at all by pricing things out individually. And,
by doing so, you get exactly what you want. So, double check. |
|
You Got a Combo. Now What? You
didn't think you were done, did you? You still need to buy something
to carry all your gear, something to protect the fly rod (like a
rod tube, if the combo didn't come with it), flies, and so much more! |
|
For Trout Fishing : If
you're chasing trout, look for combination outfits that have a 4-5
weight fly rod, fly reel and fly line...with a fly rod length of
between eight and nine feet. These specs are considered the "all-around"
general trout fly rod, and will work just fine for beginners and
intermediate anglers. |
|
Spending a Little More...Often
times gets you a WHOLE lot more in the world of fly fishing combination
outfits. By spending an extra $100, you often get an excellent fly
reel and fly rod, instead of just an average one. So...if you can
afford just a "little bit more"...even if it hurts...it's usually
worth it in terms of being happy with your gear and not outgrowing
it at the end of the season. |
|
How Many Pieces? : By pieces,
I refer to how many pieces does your fly rod break down into? If
you travel frequently, you want a fly rod that breaks down into four
pieces (or more, for backcountry uses). Thus, pay attention to the
details. |
