The most affordable way into fly fishing that we are comfortable putting our name behind. Redington's Original Freshwater Kit is a complete, pre-rigged 9-foot 5 weight outfit: rod, reel, line, backing, and leader, ready to fish out of the case.
What's in the kit
- 9' 5 weight, 4-piece, medium-fast rod — forgiving for learning, capable for years after
- Crosswater 4/5/6 reel with a fully carbon disc drag
- RIO Mainstream WF5F fly line, pre-spooled with backing
- RIO Powerflex tapered leader, rigged loop-to-loop
- Nylon carrying case
Current pricing is on the selector above.
Who it's for: the beginner who wants to find out if fly fishing sticks, the truck rod, the guest rod, the kid's first real outfit. String it up, tie on a fly, fish.
Worth knowing: this kit carries a 1-year warranty. If you want a starter outfit with a lifetime warranty, a machined reel, and RIO's better Gold XP line, step up to the Redington Classic Trout Kit — also on our site, also stocked.
Chasing bass or bigger water? The same kit comes in a 9' 8 weight — see the Redington Original Kit 890-4 listing.
Buy it from us and we will check the rigging and show you the knots before you go. Ed's Fly Shop, 432 E Main St, downtown Montrose, Colorado.
