Fly fishing Gear

Post by Tbrigga » Sat Aug 01, 2015 8:12 pm

Hi all. I would like to start fly fishing and I am just looking at a cheap combo that will do the job for me. I don't want it to break straight away :thumbsup: I would use it in fresh and salt water

I've got a Berkley Avenger 8'6" fly rod with a Shakespeare reel. It's about 25 years old but I only used it once and realised fly fishing wasn't for me and have never used it since. I'm not sure what the weight is but if your interested I'll sell it to you cheap mate :thumbsup:

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them
