By Gonzo from Galveston, TX on 11/06/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy Casting, Reliable, Smooth Drag System, Smooth Reeling Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: As a fisherman of 60 years, I have no patience for fools who covet overpriced gear for status satisfaction. I am reminded of lures that are designed to catch fishermen, not fishes. This reel is a great value, teriffic bang for the buck. It has a large arbor, disc drag, and operates smoothly. You could pay hundreds more dollars for a reel, but I doubt you could get one much better. What more do you want? Caveat: Not good for suckers; you'll need a reel 20 times as expensive for that.

This is very good tippet and a real bang for your buck.

Considering learning to fly fish? By deepdrop from New Hampshire on 10/10/2009 Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I don't ski, I don't like winter. I needed something to keep those winter blues away, so I decided to take up fly fishing. This is a good quality outfit at a good price. It's well suited for trout, bass and I feel I could probably handle a fish up to 10 pounds. The reel does have a drag. It comes with backing, weight forward fly line, one 4x leader, rod and reel. The leader uses Sci Anglers connector that doesn't require a knot, but you can use any leader you want. No flies included. It would have been nice to have a few flies. It does come with a DVD that provides a nice introduction to fly fishing, knot tying, etc.
I was choosing between this one and the Wild Water fly fishing kit and chose this one based on price. The Wild Water comes with a case, which is a nice addition and is probably a little higher quality.
Anyway, this winter I can learn to tie flies while everyone else is on the slopes.
SA quality at a great price By roscoe the nympher from Yuba City, CA on 10/05/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Functional Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: leaders - you run through a lot of them if you fish more than a few times every couple of months. So getting some at a great price means you can toss them (properly of course) and keep using a good performing new one. SA and Rio are the ones I look for.

It's a great rod made even better by the price. Where else can you find such a deal. I bought 3 just to have a couple to give as gifts. Serria has the best price going.
