Outdoors MissouriGetting geared up to begin fly fishing does not need to be a ridiculously expensive proposition. Here is the basics of what you need.
Basic Combo Low-End Cost
As many folks will tell you, when you begin, it will be a multiple of years before your casting ability exceeds the limits of a basic setup. That translates to, don't spend a bunch of money for your first setup unless you want to for vanity sake. The two setups here represent a good starting point.The Crosswater rod is an easy to cast and high performance graphite fly rod ideal for the novice fly angler. The ideal rod for the beginner angler or the angler that doesn't want to spend a lot on their gear. Outfits come complete and ready to fish with a Crosswater reel prespooled with Backing, RIO Mainstream WF fly line, and knotless leader. (click on link in carousel below)
Basic Combo...A bit More...But Still Low Cost
The second is a notch up, but still very reasonable in price.
Through a further application of the analysis and construction methods developed for Sage's G5 Technology, they've completely updated the FLi Series with a range of even lighter, smoother fly rods; the Flight Series. Now you'll be able to generate high Fly Line speed and feel the rod load more precisely for improved power transfer and efficiency. In fishing situations, that means you will instinctively cast better without having to think about it. Sage has said it before and they say it again with more emphasis: These are simply great fly rods. Flight Series rod/reel combos are available Fly Line weights 4-6, 8 and 9 as part of a complete, perfectly balanced outfit, including a Sage 1800 Series reel, RIO floating Fly Line, backing and leader, plus a protective rod/reel case.
