Wild water 7FT 3/4 WT fly rod

 Hi, today I'm, going to talk about a beginner's combo, that in my opinion is the best bang for your buck on the fly fishing industry, it's the:
 
 This package comes with a great rod that includes lifetime warranty, a functional reel that will surely last you for a couple seasons before you need to upgrade, wt forward floating fly line with backing and 2 leaders which one is already attached, a good quality box with 9 flies that you will surely use on any stream anywhere in the globe, and if that wasn't enough you get a quality rod case with rod sock.
 -The rod:
It's a slow action, mid flex IM6 graphite, short terms easier to learn how to cast, and even the experienced caster will enjoy this rod the same way, and with a lifetime warranty there is no doubts that this is a wonderful deal.
-The reel:
In my opinion the reel it's not the best in the market, but don't get me wrong it isn't the worst either, on another note the reel is solid, decent drag and large harbor will get you a good capacity of line without the small coils.
-The line:
This line will definitely cast clean and with easy loading of the rod, it isn't a Rio Gold Fly Linebut mine lasted for 2 seasons already and still looking pretty good.
 -Backing:
Not much to say here, it's only an extension to your length of fly line.
 -Leaders:
The leaders are good leaders but I would advice to cut the one attached and attach one of these Braided Loops to the end of you fly line, it will make you life easier when the need for a leader change comes.
 -Fly box:
It is a very good quality box, I still use mine and being waterproof when I take a dip into the river water won't get inside the box and rust all my flies.
 -Flies:
Again not much to say, the Adams Parachute is the most used fly and best all round fly for any mayfly hatch, just match the size of you fly to the real bugs on your area,the Hare's Ear Nymph is a suggestive pattern that can imitate anything from a mayfly to a stonefly, just again match the size to the real bugs on your waters, and last the Black Ant Fly is an extremely effective fly on the summer months, especially on days with a little breeze.
 -Rod case and sock:
For me it's an essential, when you have your rod on the trunk of the car all the time and get to a river that is 2 hours away from your house there is nothing worst than notice you broke the tip of your rod, not a big problem here because you have lifetime warranty right? Wrong, you just drove for 2 hour to enjoy some fishing and now you have to drive back 2 hours without even make a cast.Make sure you use this sock and case, they will protect you rod and reel for an amazing day at the water.

and a little video(sorry for the quality but we forgot the camera at home so it was filmed on a phone):

Hope I could help you choose a decent fly rod, good luck on the water!
