M MAXIMUMCATCH Maxcatch Extreme Fly Fishing Combo Kit 3/5/6/8 Weight, Starter Fly Rod and Reel Outfit, with a Protective Travel Case

Great rod for the price!!
Great rod for a beginner not wanting to spend big bucks as you learn. The flies might be good for trout but no good for bass in lakes and canals (got some nice ones at Bass Pro Shop) The case is nice as is the snipping tool. Line is a bit stretchy but works well, as does the real. Hay is ugly as sin, lol.

Good quality
Was good buy good quality.!

Great addition to my collection, great value.
I have 4 fly setups that are much heavier and much more expensive for salt and bass. I wanted something light and cheap to leave in the truck to fish small ponds for bluegill and the occasional small large mouth on my way home from work. I figured what the heck, this combo costs 1/10th of my 7wt setup. I am honestly super impressed. I figured with the price I was going to get something super flimsy and low quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. Even the line is good. Rod has a nice fast action great finish surprisingly light, and although the reel isn’t the best looking, it does what it needs to do on a 3 wt, which is hold the line. The carry case seems to be made well, and the extra fly box and storage on the carry case makes keeping this setup under the seat of my truck a breeze. For bluegill and crappie this thing has taken the place of my TFO 5wt. Blue gill the size of your hand feels like fighting a 7lb bass on a bait caster. Oh and the free hat they threw in was a nice bonus as well. Thanks yall, I’ll spread the word to my buddies.

Wrong reel size
I originally gave a negative review after receiving a reel of the wrong size. I ordered the Maxcatch Extreme 9′ #6 fly rod with its companion 5/6 reel, but got the 3/4 reel instead. Make sure you check your shipment.Updated review: I received the a replacement very quickly. The package arrived in great shape, and best of all, I received the right reel this time. This is the first time I ordered a rod through Amazon and was a bit leery about damaged packaging. Not a problem here – the box came to my door without any damage. On top of that, the rod/reel and other items were safe inside a really sturdy case. I took a close look at the rod and found no issue. I like the dark green color. The rod is light and feels right in my hand and balances well with the reel it comes with. The reel makes a small sound as I crank it around, but otherwise it spins smoothly. It’s made of metal (aluminum) yet light. I tested the drag – I can dial in the drag strength and think it will be more than sufficient for a 6-wt rod. I really like the case. It’s sturdy and protective. I could probably fit another small spinning rod (probably a 2-piece 5′) in this case. The starter set of flies is ok. You will eventually want to get your own anyway. The fly box is nice though, it fits nicely in the outside pocket of the case. The kit comes with the line tool and a lanyard – useful. And the hat is adjustable and actually fits my big head.I am looking forward to taking this rod to the water. I will continue to update the review after having used the Maxcatch combo for a few times.

Surprised how well this thing casts, the reel is very smooth. Was looking for a cheap 3WT and this works perfectly. Nice kit with the case, flies and fly box. All you need to start catching fish, without breaking the bank.

J’ai acheté cet ensemble pour mon petit-fils afin de lui enseigner la pêche à la mouche. Pour moins de la moitié du prix de ce que je trouvais dans les magasins spécialisés, cet ensemble m’a surpris par la qualité et les accessoires. La canne et le moulinet sont parfaitement balancés, et le moulinet, moulé en aluminium, est léger et compact, parfait pour un jeune. Contrairement à d’autres avis que j’avais lus, le frein du moulinet fonctionne très bien, très efficace. Et mon petit-fils a été ébahi par son présent d’ anniversaire dont il rêvait depuis l’an dernier.
