Orvis has proven that doesn’t always need to be the case! The quality and affordable Encounter kit by Orvis, a premium American manufacturer, is a great option for getting into fly fishing!
A perfectly balanced set-up is a real satisfaction - and that's exactly what the Orvis team took to heart when developing this kit. Thus, this harmonious "triad" consisting of rod, reel, and line offers great performance that nobody would have expected in this price range.
At the heart of this kit is a modern Orvis Encounter fly rod which, thanks to its appealing casting properties, allows for a lot of fun while casting clean, tight loops. The good-natured action offers you a very large time window for loading, which makes it ideally suited to learning the techniques of clean fly casting. However, not only beginners will enjoy the Encounter kit! Even experienced fly fishermen will be delighted by the feel and performance of this rod. The Large-Arbor design of the Encounter fly reel allows a high line pick-up speed during the fight and a reliable drag, so this setup lets you fight large fish with confidence. Last but not least, the Orvis team made no compromises when it came to choosing the line, because the floating Orvis WF line plus backing and leader round off this successful set perfectly.
