Can I use this in the Indian river for trout and redfish?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
Yes, this will come with 50 yards of fly line backing and 25 yards of 6-weight fly line.Answers
A:
I do more panfishing with the fly rod and catch a lot of Bass and don't use dacking. I see it used more in saltwater because the fish run longer and fight harder. as a matter of fact I don't ever use the reel to bring the fish in. I hold the line with my Rod hand and pull in with the free hand
A:
yes, u need the backing line it is wat propells your main fly line forward, dont ever cut it offAnswers
A:
No it is not over kill for pan fishing I have used a fly rod for years and have done great with pan fish it's all I use it for and I catch more fish Bass or panfish with this than any other methodA:
No not at all. It's a good basic fly rod, great for small to medium fish. I've caught 2 inch long blue-gill on this before also 20 inch brown trout.Answers
A:
There should be nothing stopping you. the mounting hardware isn't keyed any one way so its just a matter of turning the reel to the left side and tightening it downA:
yes, just flip it around.A:
yes you canAnswers
A:
no you must put the line on yourselfA:
Yes it comes with all the lines; backing, fly, combo leader and tippet no extra tippet. I don't recall if the fly was tied to the backing but the fly and leader definitely aren't attached.A:
The fly line is pre-loaded on the reel. You only have to attach the large end of the tippet (leader) to the fly line, and then a fly to the tippet to start fishing. You may have to research "nail knots" on the internet to see how to join the fly line and tippet.A:
comes with backing and fly line. Suppose to come with leader, but it doesn't - be prepared to buy your ownA:
Mine had everything included except the leader, which Pfluger sent me within a week, now I have a spare.A:
This kit comes with the line prespooled as well as a seperate leader and 5 flies.A:
yes it does but no its not already put onA:
yesAnswers
A:
It's not a particularly amazing reel but in three years I haven't replaced mine. It will land most trout. Easy to clean and the reel quite honestly isn't as important as a good quality fly line.A:
For the price it's great, if you want more you pay more. I'm sure they have more expensive models. I'm new to fly fishing and it suited my budget.A:
the reel is great the rod is garbage its far from durable mine broke after 5 small troutA:
it`okAnswers
A:
Yes it canA:
well, its #6 fly line, so, possibly, but u have to fight the fish really hard, i wouldnt risk it, get a 10 ft rod with #8- #10 fly lineA:
I wouldn't risk it. The reel is held on by metal collars cinched down by a plastic nut. good for small to medium play fish but 6 lb. bass would be the one that got awayA:
Yes I have landed some nice bass with itA:
Yes, but you have to work the rod.Answers
A:
as a stater rell you may want to upgrade the reelA:
You can't. It's a set drag. ON another note, be prepared to buy your own leaderA:
Drag is preset.Answers
A:
yes it isA:
Both. It's one of if not the cheapest outfits on the market. Good middle of the road weight rod comes with a knot guide, everything you need to fish except lessons on casting.A:
Good starter rodA:
Yes and yesA:
I've been told by experienced fly fishermen that it is an excellent set up for a beginner. The rod has some good flex, the reel is basic, I could have easily paid much more and have gotten too much for my skill level.

SPEND A FEW MORE DOLLARS AND GET THE WHITE RIVER DOGWOOD CANYON! it is amazing and you can have a bit more selection in terms of length and line weight.A:
Love the rod and reel i'm a beginner but it would work well for anyone who wants to catch fish
A:
I find this to be a great starter rod, I personaly woldn't had minded if it was atleast 1 foot bigger but to each his own, but realy best bang for your buck I have seen around.
