This combo fly and spinning rod and reel is a great value for the money. The convenient container makes it easy to store the rod sections and two reels in one easily accessible location. The fly rod is too short and the spinning rod is too flexible (same rod), but when one considers that the same rod can be used for both applications, this is a fantastic deal. The fly reel is small, but easily holds a regular fly line (not included but easily purchased), and the spinning reel has a smooth retrieve and holds plenty of line (also not included) if you are using light test (4 to 6 pound test) line. Overall, this is a great deal for those just starting to fish, or those who want quick access to both a fly and spinning rod and reel with great travel convenience.
