Ryan Cox: I was frustrated at first when my new rod tip broke on a small fish, but it happens. I wanted to compliment the customer service staff at KastKing. They sent me a new tip section when I contacted them without fighting me. Combo is a great starter set for someone new to fly fishing. Worth the price - rod is light and the whole combo is weighted perfectly. Thanks KastKing for making things right! I’ve bought multiple items from them over the years and have to say they make really quality stuff for the $$$.

Lucas: For the money, a great beginner's rod and reel combo. If you're new to fly fishing, those price tags can get intimidating. This takes the bite out of that start-up price tag. It comes with line on the reel, so that's a bonus.

Not the best combo, obviously, but for the money its great. Casts well, the reel is solid, the case is great and comes with the necessary tools to get started: pliers, knippers, tiers, etc.

PLUS KastKing has all the videos you could possibly need on Youtube to get educated and started.

Jim Wooster: I've gotten spinning and casting combos and line from KastKing before. All have been great value. I needed a 8 weight to cast large poppers and streamers. Looks good. I haven't used it yet, 10 degrees outside. Cheap fly box was broken and flies were appropriate for a 4 or 6 weight rod but I'm very happy.

albert truongalbert truong: this combo is such a great kit to get you started!

lets break it down to some key categories:

1) value and quality: it’s $120 for this kit. there are other kits on the market for much less, but kastking has been oretty consistent for me. it lacks a few thingns some of the cheaper kits may have, like a better container for flies or a rod case with pockets. but the reel it comes with? awesome! the rod? awesome! the flies? awesome! way more realistic and better looking quality. i have some extra wooly buggers and caddis pupaes i bought from big name stores, but the ones in the kit actually caught me more fish!

ontop of that, i was checking out a orvis combo kit for $160 - it didnt look and feel as good and from initial look, it looked like their entire reel was plastic?

2) performance: it handles great and casts well, but i’m a noob. i actually ended upgrading the flylinr to kastkings exergy to swap the colors for fun and found this fly line (also great value) casts and out performs the stock flyline way more, even after conditioning/cleaning/stretching stock flyline.

the included flies i thought initially of replacing but it actually catches me...
