FLY FISHING RODS - THERE ARE FEW THINGS MORE CONFUSING TO NEW ANGLERS THAN SHOPPING AROUND FOR A FLY ROD

When choosing a fly rod you need to ask yourself what are you fly fishing for. If it is trout, the best allround fly rod for fly fishing would be a 4 to 5 weight rod of about 9ft. If you are mostly fly fishing small streams, a shorter rod of 8 to 8'6". Rod action I would suggest medium to medium fast depending on your fly fishing casting ability. If you are planning to Fish New Zealand you would concider a or 6wt Fast action Fly rod. For a novice, we also sell Fly Outfits and Combo's as they are a well suited combo, however a medium action rod is more forgiving if choosing a rod only. Most fly fishing rods these days come in 4 sections, I don't see any advantage in 2 or 4 piece rods for fly fishing as they are harder to travel with and as resale value goes, nobody wants them.
