Thread: Fly fishing kit / Combo

Im with chainsaw on this - if I only had one rod it would be a 6 weight. After 35 years guiding, I think the number of 6 weight rods that clients have used or bought to NZ would be well over 60%, all the other weights make up the rest. I see no issues with buying a mid priced combo/package, but the closer you get to the fish, the better the quality you need, ie but the best leaders and tippets you can find, and the best possible fly line to deliver it. The $150 price bracket seems to be the norm for good quality fly line. Another on line option for good gear is the fly shop.co.nz.
