Composition: IM6 Graphite Fly Rod, Cast Aluminum Fly Reel Fly Reel For: 4»6wt, 5»7wt (option) Note: TFO and Jim Teeny give a portion of the sales of CFR products to the Casting for Recovery organization. Length: 8'6"
The Flystart is a hybrid large arbor fly reel that is inexpensive, yet built with the same commitment to quality and performance as all Ross reels. The drag system is Ross designed to be smooth, consistent and have a wide range of adjustment.
Fly fishing is a sport that everyone can enjoy, but for many people, the price of fly tackle is often a barrier to participation. The Ross team was committed to producing an introductory priced fly reel that would perform to the expectations of even the most experienced angler, and the Flystart series perfectly meets this goal.
You will be amazed with its quality in manufacturing tolerance, performance and sound. The Flystart is a great fly reel for first-time fly fishing participants that demand quality but do not want to spend a fortune gearing up to fish.

Retrieve Information
If you cast with your right hand and retrieve with your left hand then you want Left Hand Retrieve.
If you cast with your left hand and retrieve with your right hand then you want Right Hand Retrieve.
Note: Some prefer to use the same hand for casting and retrieving by setting the hook before switching the rod to the opposite hand. This is perfectly acceptable. The important thing is that you retrieve with the hand with which you are most comfortable (fastest retrieve).
Backing Material Information
We will put 20# test Dacron backing material by 3M-Scientific Anglers on to your reel.
Be sure to select your retrieve (see above).
Standard Backing is built with advanced 3M technology that allows 3M to create small diameter backing without losing the inherent strength of the backing material.
Features:
Exceptionally thin material for more reel capacity
Low coefficient of friction minimizes wear on guides
High abrasion resistance
Colorfast
Extremely high visibility
Casting for Recovery Weight Forward Floating Fly Line by Jim Teeny
Every once in awhile a product comes along that is worth buying not only due for its quality and performance, but also because it promotes a good cause. Jim Teeny and company are offering this fly line to complement Temple Fork Outfitters' Casting for Recovery Fly Rods.
A portion of proceeds from the sale of these very special items are donated directly to the Casting for Recovery campaign, which is dedicated to assisting women recovering from breast cancer, through fly fishing.
Casting for Recovery & Hope is a national non-profit, support and educational program for women who have or have had breast cancer. The program offers an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by the disease to gather in a beautiful, natural setting and learn fly-fishing, “a sport of line”. Just as importantly, CFR offers an opportunity to meet new friends and have fun!

3X 6lb. 9ft. Monofilament Tapered Leader
RIO Powerflex Monofilament Tapered Leaders
Each RIO Powerflex knotless tapered leader is designed for superb abrasion resistance as well as high knot and tensile strength. The long butt design provides smooth turnover while the supple tippet gives the fly lifelike presentation. The graduated tapers have corresponding stepped butt diameters. Tapers are made with thick butts to turn over heavy flies and thinner butts for smaller flies.
RIO knotless leaders have a high tech "best maximum pull" ratio to orient the molecules in a linear chain. This means that RIO's leaders return to their original taper after a fight. The light gray color is the most neutral and integrates visually with any background for perfect camouflage.
All RIO trout tapered leaders have Perfection Loops tied in the butt section to facilitate changing leaders.

RIO Fluorocarbon Leaders
When stealth and accurate presentations are required for wary fish, the RIO Fluoroflex Knotless Tapered Leader is the leader of choice. The leaders are nearly invisible and feature superb knot strength, and abrasion resistance. In the tradition of RIO, the leader tapers are designed and extruded to exacting tolerances. Since Fluorocarbon is denser than nylon, the Fluorflex leaders will sink faster than traditional nylon leaders.
These leaders are a good choice for fishing chironomids and emergers in lakes.
