Combo-Outfit der Guide-Serie

Great package for backpack trip in smokies for trout.

I purchased this rod as a gift to my sister to get her into fly fishing. Its typical to be leery of budget minded options esp in fly fishing but this is one heck of a combo! I would recommend this anyone, even experienced anglers. Does it compete against $1000 rods? Well, obviously no. But in the sub $300 space this is just as good as any of the others and you get a reel and line with it. The line that comes with this isn't bad, it actually casts well. I did swap it out to the 5wt Long Belly Distance but that was to help my sister get the hang of casting sooner. That line shoots and roll casts with minimal effort. Great job Cortland, keep making the great products you do that have no only keep us in the game but got us started in it. Tight lines.

Very happy. Guide series works great in our local waters. Also spooled up Cortlands”The Big Fly “on spare reel to easily switch to same rod when throwing streamers & running into sudden weather changes. Good stuff.

Its the perfect rod for my fly casting schools! The progressive fast rod action appeals to 7 out of 10 students. The price point is excellent. Congratulations! Wandataylorflyfishing.com

Im an avid angler (200+ days on water) and have been looking to get into fly fishing as the new challenge. Cortland’s combo gave me everything I needed to get started without breaking the bank. So far, it’s given me a great first step into the world of fly fishing.

The combos are perfect for our Reel Girls program

Great fly rod and reel. I tend to have to hike into places to get to the rivers in Maine. The reel and rod are very durable and easy to get up and going. I would recommend this rod to everyone

This is the 4th Cortland rod I have bought and honestly, is the only brand you need to consider. High quality, superior functionality and will withstand the test of time.
