Chadd: I’ve just bought a nice 4/5# weight fly rod and reel combo, but fly line wasn’t included in the deal. My old rod is a 3# weight and I have several lines at that particular weight which were pretty pricey, so I don’t want to waste money buying 4/5# line if I can use my 3# weight line, and from what you say I should be okay, thanks!

I’m looking to get this rod and reel combo. It’s called the scientific Angler rod and reel combo for panfish and I’m wondering if this would be a good beginner for trout that are about 12-16 inches long. Here’s the link.

Also, i need to know if i need and extra line, backing, leader and what kind of flies.(I think dry for beginner?)

I’m looking for some fishing rods and reels. i need an ultra light, medium and heavy rod and three reels to go with them. i would prefer bait casting or low profile bait casting reels and rods. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m willing to spend about 0 for each setup (rod/reel combo). and a suggestion of line to use for each. thank you.

I recently received a Fenwick Spinning and Fly Combo as a gift. Specs- 7’0", 1/8-5/8 lures, 6-12lb, and it is carbon veil (I guess that would mean graphite). The spinning reel is an Abu Garcia Cardinal–8lbs/80yds. I don’t know how to fly fish so the fly reel isn’t of much importance to me. Anyway, my question is what kind of fish would this rod & reel combo be capable of handling? Also, can I do some saltwater striper fishing with it or will it fail? Lastly, should I get 8lb mono or 8lb braid? Thanks

I dont have very much money but I still really want to learn how to fly fish. I am thinking about buying the Martin Fly Fishing Rod & Reel Combo – 8′ Rod for . Is this a good rod and reel combo for a beginner or is harder to use because its so cheap.
What other inexpensive combos would you recommend for a beginner fly fisherman?
