Just wondering if the collective knowledge of AN know of any good deals regarding budget kits at the mo.

 

Ive about 90 quid to spend on the rod and reel (the more freebies the better - spare spools etc) and have narrowed it down to some ron thompson/okuma gear via a mail order company.

 

I dont flyfish that often so not really looking to break the bank, just something to carry me through a resi for stockies/brownies etc.

 

WF7/8 and at least 9'6"

 

cheers in advance

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

cheers, i have rt and okuma carp gear and its performed fine, i just didnt want to bank on a rod/reel combo going pop.

 

If theyre as good in the fly world as they are in the carp world then i cant go far wrong.

 

Cheers

The Lureflash Viper rods get very good write ups. Yorkshire Game Angling in their catalogue do Viper fishing outfits, rod, reel, lines bag flies and other goodies. The 9.5 set is £95. No, I don't work for YGA. Just was in the similar position as you, and spent many hours pouring over the catalogues and reviews in magazines. Then i went and won a rod and reel in one of the comps in Trout Fisherman :)
