TroutFit Combo:
A smooth easy casting Eco Swift fly rod paired with a robust and functional Eco Swift fly reel makes this a great setup for anglers looking to step into the sport but also with longer-term usage in mind. Unlike most other combos that are on offer, where the reels are plastic or graphite, the rod is a slow sloppy noodle, and the line with more memory than is imaginable, our combos use the same quality products that we personally use!
Fly Rod:
The longer 10-foot fly rod is exceptionally easy to cast, is smooth, and offers you the ability to use it for more than just Trout. The longer length lends itself well as a cross-over nymphing rod for the Vaal for Yellowfish.
Fly Line:
A floating line is always a good place to start as “you can always make a line sink, but you can’t make it float!” A floating line is also useful when nymphing, and can be adapted to fish a huge variety of mid-depth waters with ease.
Fly Reel:
Our Eco Swift fly reels are sturdy, are fully aluminum, have a carbon fiber-based drag system that needs no real maintenance and are smooth enough to fish light tippets with confidence.
Leaders and Tippets:
Each combo also includes a 9′ 4X tapered leader and a spool of tippets to match. All you have to do is find a piece of water, pop a fly on, and wait for the tug!
Stepping into the art of fly fishing can be daunting especially if it’s your first time out at Dullstroom, or perhaps the Natal midlands. Our Troutfit combo has been curated to offer you long-lasting joy without the need to upgrade once the bug bites!
