About this item
- The 5/6-weight fly kit includes a four-piece rod, large-arbor reel with line installed, fly box, flies and a lightweight rod case with a zippered storage pouch. It is suggested as a gift for a father, son, husband, fiancé or boyfriend.
- The mid-flex IM8 graphite rod has a stainless-steel stripping guide intended to reduce friction, heat and line damage. An adjustable CNC-aluminum reel seat limits reel movement. A western-style cork grip with compressed trim rings is intended to support accurate casts while reducing fatigue.
- The die-cast aluminum reel and spool have a 1:1 ratio, a one-way roller-bearing system and 2+1 ball bearings. A Teflon disc drag controls the 5/6-weight reel, which measures 2-9/10 inches across and weighs 5.2 oz. It comes with 98 ft of 20 lb backing, 100 ft of weight-forward 6-weight floating fly line and a 9 ft 3X leader.
- A waterproof floating fly box holds 20 flies. The sturdy case and zippered pouch organize the fly-fishing equipment for carrying. Suggested applications include trout and panfish in small streams and ponds, plus backpacking trips.
- The listing presents the kit as a gift for beginners and keen anglers, especially for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Father's Day and Valentine's Day.
