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.

Hi, does this rod come with the standard reel? I saw below that it?s just the rod on someone?s question but looking on other sites, this rod plus the standard reel it comes with is also $170.

Is this a rod and reel combo? Or is it just the rod?
