Rated 5 out of 5 by JP287 Outstanding value
I bought this outfit as a new fly fisherman in January. It is an outstanding rig and I have caught many bream and small bass with it, but I primarily wanted to write this review to comment on the case. The photo shows the tire marks after my girlfriend accidentally ran over my case with a loud crunch, with my fly rod inside. I sadly opened the case expecting my rod to be in pieces. To my amazement there was not the slightest bit of damage to the rod and I have used it many times since with no problems. The case did sustain some visible damage but is still very much usable, I just wouldn't want to run over it again. This is a great outfit and the case is an excellent protector of your investment.

I've never setup a reel before and was surprised to have received this combo unassembled.How much backing should I apply to the reel before I tie on the fly line? i've searched forums and the best answer has been to 'wing it'. That's not good enough for me.
Should I use the entire spool of backing that came in the combo?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
Most fly fishers fill the spool of the reel with as much backing as possible to allow them to retrieve faster and to reduce line memory. Thereby the line is less likely to tangle. Read the reel capacity chart to determine the amount of backing needed for the reel.
A:
I went ahead and spooled the entire amount of the backing provided, tied it to and then spooled the fly line - it was the appropriate amount of both.This might depend upon the weight of the line you order, but I could be incorrect. I ordered mine with 5 weight
