If you want to get into fly fishing for under $80, the Maxcatch Extreme Fly Fishing Combo Kit is a great choice, but if you have the extra $100 to spend, it’s well worth the money for the Maxcatch Premier. I even fished it in saltwater, and the rod and reel somehow held up. The rod is more accurate and feels just as good as some more expensive rods that I’ve had, and it’s still going strong after two years of intermittent use. The Extreme is even cheaper than the Premier and still comes with everything you need for an almost unbelievable price, but, having fished both set-ups extensively, I believe the Premier is just a much better kit. I purchased the Maxcatch Extreme 5-wt Outfit, and while it was a great value (it used to be rated as our top budget fly rod), I believe the Maxcatch Premier is well worth the extra spend. When I was living in China for a year, I was preparing for a long fly fishing trip in Mongolia and I needed an entire setup on a tight budget. That’s Maxcatch, and the Maxcatch Premier Rod is a great budget option for new anglers. When it comes to ridiculously inexpensive rods, there’s one manufacturer that always comes out on top. Pros: Great price, graphite blanks, everything you needĬons: A bit stiff and heavy, poor warranty/after-sales serviceīest For: Absolute Beginners, backup rod, bargain hunters Read More: Best Value Fly Rods (Buyer’s Guide) 3.

Orvis Clearwater Specs & Info Handle Type: Full Wellsįighting Butt: Yes (On Euro Nymph 10′ Rods) If you’re considering this rod, check out our full hands-on Orvis Clearwater review. But hey, for this price that’s a pretty tiny complaint and some anglers will love the feel of it as it is.

It’s just not as comfortable as it could be and Orvis would’ve been better off going with a reverse full wells grip. One thing I’m not crazy about with the Clearwater is the grip.

If you’re new to fishing and you want a good quality setup but don’t want to buy the cheapest gear possible, then I recommend the full Clearwater outfit, which includes the rod, reel, case, line, leader, tippet, and everything else you need.

While I wasn’t overly impressed with the feel and accuracy of the Encounter rods, the Orvis Clearwater series is incredibly accurate and is without a doubt the best fly rod for the money right now. Orvis is without question the largest fly fishing brand there is, and they make all kinds of rods.įrom the budget Encounter series to their top-end bamboo rods, they’re constantly innovating in the industry with design, materials, and technology.

If you’re looking for quality and you don’t mind spending nearly $900 on a rod, most professional anglers agree that the G. This rod is so good that it could’ve beat out a lot of other rods in different weights on this list and could also win as the best trout fly rod and the best saltwater rod as well.

#ORVIS HELIOS 3 AMAZON PLUS#
With the Plus series, we were able to delicately present our flies with pinpoint accuracy. On top of all of this, the new design is even more precise than its predecessor, the NRX. This new blend of Mega Modulus+ Graphite, GL8 Resin, and Multi-Taper Design is able to reduce blank weight by 15% while simultaneously improving the overall durability of the setup. The manufacturer uses a new resin for the new NRX+ series of rods, which they call G8.
