Composition: Bamboo Fly Rod, Machined Aluminum Fly Reel Note: Spare Tip Included Length: 7'6"
We've paired Headwater's beautiful Metolius bamboo rod with Ross' Evolution machined aluminum reel. This 5 weight, 7-1/2 foot, 2 piece rod comes with an extra tip (just in case). The Evolution 2 reel is Ross' finest freshwater reel which features an impressive and smooth drag system.
Everything is here...all spooled up with a weight forward floating fly line and tapered leader. All you have to do is tie on a fly and start fishing.
Please specify Left or Right Hand Retrieve.
