Thread: Fly fishing kit / Combo

I started off with an Airflo set up and ran that for 3 seasons before upgrading, the airflo rods really are great value. They also come with a spare tip incase you fall over and break it.

It's definitely worth while picking up and having a few practice casts with your intended rod. I purchased my upgraded rod online and it is very different to my previous rod of the same weight and doesn't like being loaded up the same.

Flies, buy quality and you wont be sitting on the bank or a river watching a your fish swim away as it snaps or straightens the hook as you are trying to land it. I brought cheap, $120 for 100 flies, great for practicing not so great for the energetic fish we have over here. I even had one snap the bend of the hook off so the fly body was still there. took me bloody ages to figure out why I was getting takes but couldn't hook them.

good luck on your fishing adventures over here
