Quick take
A 5.5-foot 3-weight fly combo with die-cast aluminum reel and cork handle, packaged with flies, fly box and rod case for stream trout and panfish.
This is a complete fly fishing starter kit built around a 5 foot 6 inch, 3-weight graphite rod that breaks down into four pieces. It includes a die cast aluminum reel with line, backing and leader already on it, plus a fly box with nine flies and a hard tube case. The short rod suits small streams, ponds and backpacking trips for trout and panfish.
