Worth the money

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I have this outfit, and as a newbie fly fisherman, i think it performs well. Able to cast within short to medium range. Good learner

Company does not back product

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Height:
5' 11"

I loved this combo but the rod snapped pulling in a 6” bass. Things happen. I get it but a rod is not something you are able to use immediately. It was the third day I used it but 21 days after I ordered it. Not received it even. They will not back their product even with a store credit and are making me go through Orvis who also is giving me the run around. Very disappointed in Backcountry. Will not use again.
