Solid Beginner Reel/RodThis is a good entry level fly rod and reel. I have used mine for 3 seasons (15 trips or so).

Poor qualityI bought this rod and was happy with the look of it, but the first time i take it fishing and started to reel in a trout the rod tip broke. I have never broken a rod before so i was very disapointed with the quality of the product.

Bad rod, great serviceI bought a 9/6wt as a starter to get into fly fishing. Everything looked great out of the box, but the first little smallie that grabbed snapped the tip about 8cm from the top. That said, Fenwick was amazing, and had a new HGM rod (Nighthawks are apparently only combos and as I only needed a rod, they bumped it up to the HGM) in my hands in about a week. And that rod has been fabulous. Assuming occasionally a blank will have a flaw and I probably just had bad luck, and with their excellent customer service, I will recommend their products.

Couldn't be happier!Picked this 5wt 9' rod and reel combo up during a sale for under $150. It was a noticeable upgrade from the vintage 6 piece pack rod a friend gave me to get started on the rivers here in Colorado. I could not be happier with this purchase. Almost immediately it made a huge difference in my casting, helping me get my flies out further and right at the holes and riffles where the fish hang out. After about 7 trips this rod and reel have held up very well. No reason to think it won't hold up for a long time to come. Can't wait to fight some more chubby trout on this outfit!

Best bang for the buck.I bought the 8 wt Nighthawk combo 3 months ago after a recommendation from my local shop. I couldn't be happier. After multiple fishing outings and almost a hundred fish later, the rod and reel are working flawlessly. Performs equally well with panfish, bass and salmon. For the price, I was originally skeptical that the reel would hold up to the demands of a 20+ lb salmon....boy was I wrong (see pic). Btw....a good rod case is a must and the one that comes with this combo does not disappoint. As far as rod performance goes, ease of casting is far superior to the Orvis outfit I used in a fly fishing tour in the Green Mountains. The supplied floating fly line is very smooth and aids in the casting ability of this outfit. The only negative point I have to mention is the nail knot connecting the fly line to the leader. After having this knot repeatedly catch and tangle my leader into a mess during casts, I ended up using shrink tube to "weld" a loop on the end of the fly line, eliminating the protruding ends of a nail knot.....problem solved. If this outfit continues to impress, I will be a Fenwick guy for life.

Works Great!Bought this combo in May 2016. Caught many trout..combo worked flawlessly. I bought a 5wt and now I may get an 8wt for the bigger rivers. Remember...you get what you pay for...this combo is great for a beginner or to have behind the seat of your truck. I would recommend this combo for sure.

TerribleI bought this combo in May 2016 and used it no more than 9 times and the epoxy gave out on some of the guides and the top part of the handle came loose. 5 trips later a chunk of the handle just tore off while reeling in a trout. The reel locked up on me a couple of times and the drag got a lot weaker believe it or not, I am not one bit satisfied with my purchase.
Can you provide the weight of the combo in ounces? I'm interested in using this rod while backpacking.
Asked by: Christian1965
Can you cast left-handed and have right-hand retrieve?
Asked by: Deac
Thank you for your question. The reel on this combo can be switched to either left or right hand retrieve. You will also be able to cast this item either left or right handed no matter the way the retrieve is set up.
