What Anglers & Guides Are Saying

Great Rod!

El Rey G6 Six Section 9' 5 Weight

I bought this rod for traveling, had it stolen on the trip, then bought a second one before I tried it. I was told that more sections would mean less action, but I have not found that to be the case. On the contrary, this is now my goto rod, and the one I use 90% of the time. It's been a great investment, despite havng to buy two. I've already recommended it to friends.

My Guides Were Surprised & Impressed

El Jefe v2 9' 5 Weight Combo

My new setup was awesome. Just wanted you guys to know. The guide’s I fish with loved the look and feel. They were surprised at how it responded when I let them take over for a bit. They are all Orvis Helios or Recon guys and were amazed at how well this rig responded in tight spots and in some adverse wind. I think it took them by surprise.

I am still a novice in the world of fly fishing, and this made me enjoy this sport even more. Off to the frying pan in a few weeks and to explore the area around there.

Thanks for building a great product for all abilities.

This is WAY Better Then Other "Starter" Kits

Econ 101 Complete Starter Package - 9' 5 Weight

Aug 15, 2025 at 7:18 PM

I bought this for my wife for her birthday in preparation for a big trip for our anniversary. Well, our plans fell through and we weren't able to go on our fly fishing trip, but I've gotten a chance to take her out on the river a few times with this setup. I'm super jealous. It's way better than my own rig. First time I picked it up I realized I'm a lot better at fly fishing than I thought I was. I was immediately casting double the distance and with way more accuracy than my own rod I've been using for the last 15 years. Pretty sure I'm going to have to buy her a new one because I've been using hers more often than my own.  It's billed as a beginner's setup, but it is so much more than that. Zero regrets picking it up. Probably one of the best rigs for the price out there.

“As far as packable fly rod combos go, this one really is The Boss.

Fly Fisherman Magazine

I’ve been looking for a packable 7 wt for some time. I have one, but it doesn’t pack down small enough. This rod is PERFECT. GREAT service. Jeff is fabulous. High praise all around!

T.C.

Great, affordable gear. Why pay many more hundreds or thousands of dollars on gear? Not to mention, Jeff is very quick to reply to messages and help. Doesn’t get much better than that. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

We deliver the COMPLETE COMBO at the same price point other companies deliver a comparable fly rod.

Jeff Ditsworth, Owner of Pescador On The Fly
