This is my first fly rod and so far its been decent! Besides a few little hiccups like the rod flying appart when casting, id say its a great starter rod for someone just starting out but it should definitely be replaced asap. Like you said the reel is definitely the best part of the combo and i usually just put it on a long UL spinning rod and dont use the rod it comes with.
@@AptitudeOutdoors Oh for sure, my arm gets tired just thinking about using it for any amount of time, its soooo heavy and stiff i get more sensitivity on my MH baitcasting rod 🤣🤣
Fly fishing seems interesting to me, but I have 8 spinning rods and have never used a fly rod OR a baitcaster before. Guess I'd need to try baitcasting before I tried fly fishing. Not many opportunities in virginia anyways for trout and such.

Yep. Can't beat it for $35 bucks and definitely if you're just starting but it's a beast of a rod for a beginner.

Caught a fat bass with it, it’s a great rod!

I fish mostly for bass on my fly gear and I love it
