2.0 out of 5 stars Better as a Toy, January 10, 2011

I bought these to teach middle school students an introduction to fly fishing. They would be better if they did not cast apart. The action leaves more to be desired than I expected, but you get what you pay for. The good part is that if they break them your school will not mind. They should come with backing, but they only require 30 yards each so this was not too big of an added expense. In then end I got what I paid for, but the kids did not seem to mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for absolute beginners, August 8, 2010

This review is from: Shakespeare 8-Feet Fly Fishing Combo (Sports)

This is a great rod for an absolute beginner. The line will suffice for a while and the leader is of ok quality. The 2 flies it comes with will work but i would recommend getting more after your first trip. The rod shipped fast and was in excellent condition when it arrived and prime shipping is a MUST for eager anglers ready to hit the lake or river. Go to your local fly shop if you are not sure about the setup because instructions are limited. it is good to go online and look up how to cast the line and take a class at your fly shop. once again, this rod is good for beginners but will soon need a different rod to match the conditions and fish you will be fishing. there was also cracking along one of the rod connectors, which may present a problem. Best of luck!P.S the kit doesnt come with backing! this is needed when that beast takes off!!!
