Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to use the Wakeman Collapsible Fiberglass and Cork Rod Reel Combo for a fly fishing trip. I couldn t believe the quality and comfort I found in this complete combo set. It is an ideal choice for beginner and youth anglers alike, making it an excellent gift for any occasion.

This rod reel combo comes with an 8 foot, 3 piece fly rod, graphite reel seat with stainless steel guides, 5/6 fly reel, 45 feet of fly line, 9 feet of Nylon 4x tapered leader, and two dry flies. The easy cast 6/7 weight rod features a fiberglass body, and an EVA foam handle for a comfortable and secure grip. There is also a built in hook keeper for added safety.

The overall feel of this combo is very light yet tough enough to handle the outdoor elements. I was able to cast out further than I expected with ease due to its lightweight design. The cork handle felt comfortable in my hands and it wasn t slippery when wet like some other rods can be.

The reel that comes with this set was also impressive. It has a smooth drag system that is adjustable which makes it easy to adjust depending on the size of the fish you are trying to catch. The line that comes with this set was also very good quality and had no tangles or knots which made it easier to reel in my catches without having to worry about them getting away due to snags or tangles in the line.

I found this combo set to be great value for money as it comes complete with everything you need for a successful day on the water, including a carrying case conveniently included so that you can easily transport your gear between uses. The customer service from Wakeman was also top notch as they answered any questions I had quickly and efficiently.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Wakeman Collapsible Fiberglass and Cork Rod Reel Combo to anyone who is looking for a quality and comfortable fly fishing experience at an affordable price point. This combo set has all the features you need to enjoy your time on the water while still being budget friendly what more could you ask for?
