Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Martin Complete Fly Fishing Kit and I have to say that I was very impressed. The kit comes with a 8 foot 3 piece fly fishing rod, a size 5/6 single action fly fishing reel, 6 pieces of fly tackle, and a booklet that provides helpful tips and information on how to cast, tie knots, and care for your equipment.

The rod has a moderate action which makes it ideal for catching all sorts of fish from panfish to trout, walleye, bass, and more. It is made with durable 5/6 weight fiberglass rod blank construction that holds a 4 6 LT6F line weight. Additionally, the rod comes with an EVA handle which provides comfort and sure grip when in use.

The reel is also very impressive. It is pre spooled with 6 weight floating premium fly line, backing and leader. It also has a line capacity of 30 yards LT6F, and backing capacity of 50/20 yds/lbs. Furthermore, the reel features an aluminum frame, lightweight aluminum spool, metal clicker with an on/off control and push button release for easy use.

The 6 piece tackle kit included in this set is great as well. It consists of different types of flies that are designed to attract different kinds of fish so it s perfect for people who want to start experimenting with different techniques. The best part is that the kit comes with a getting started booklet so all fly fishing enthusiasts can learn how to cast, tie knots, and care for their equipment something that I found really useful when I was first starting out.

Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to get into fly fishing or is looking for an upgrade from their current setup. The quality of the materials used in this set are top notch and the included tackle box will provide hours of fun trying out different tactics. Plus, Martin has been making quality products since 1949 so you can rest assured knowing that their products are reliable and trustworthy.
