High quality value!,

"Hard to go back to the farm once you've been to Paris. Yes, there are less expensive outfits but not with the buttery action of both rod and reel. Then there's the high quality manufacturing and top of the line materials. There's a reason I shop Orvis!"

Very Impressive travel rod,
November 1, 2011
By: troutguide
from Bristol, England
"I bought this rod to take on a trip to Barbados as I had read that fly tackle would be pointless as the water deepens quickly. The rod was excellent and performed well. I will certainly be extending its use on the pike on Chew later in the month.
I have used the lighter version many times and if this performs half as well, I will be very pleased.

"Ben and I went to the coast for some redfishing this past week. Ben started to develop tennis elbow after casting his Fly rod and I suggest that he use the frequent flier spinning rod outfit I brought. Well after catching five reds on a gold spoon he said that the outfit saved his day of fishing. He said that he was going to order the frequent flyer outfit when he got home, well he order it as soon as we got a good cell phone off the water. Thanks for have that outfit on the boat and making a great day of fishing......"

Perfect Set,
September 4, 2008
By: Ezman
from West Hempstead, NY
"The F.F. Rod and F1 real are a great combo. The set was ready to use right out of the box. Line was already on the reel, and set up is a snap. The reel is smooth as silk, and seems to magically fix itself when I do something wrong. I HIGHLY recommend this set to anyone who loves to fish or to anyone that would like to start fishing. My best purchase of the year."
