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.

Nice fishing gear for traveling. Packs into a nice small case so I can leave it in the car or truck always ready to go. Reels not great quality, but I bought it for the fishing combo spin / fly rod any way, I have quality reels already. I found that as a fly rod it casts better with a #6wt. than the recomended #5wt. Also it could use 1 or 2 more sections for fly casting configuration, it seems a little short @ 7'. Also could use a section in the pack for lures, tippet & flies, etc. but there is room in the nice foam padding to cut in a small tackle / fly box. Overall a nice setup for having fishing gear at the ready wherever I am so I like this product.

The travel pack came with all that was advertised; convertable pole, 2 reels. The spinning reel was nice and smooth. Never tried the fly reel. Pole is very , very light weight. It lasted about 4 days. On the 5th day it snapped. Easily repaired. I was using 2oz spoon. Probably shouid have used 1oz and under. I bought two kits and will keep the second one just in case.
