Overview
The Redington Fly Fishing Field Kit bundles a rod, matched reel, backing, fly line and a tapered leader in one carrying case, sold as a ready-to-fish starter combo rather than parts you piece together.
- Rod, reel, RIO line and tapered leader in one case
- Diecast aluminum large-arbor reel with carbon drag
- Durable anodized aluminum reel seat
- Cordura carrying case included
Who it's for
Fits someone who wants a matched rod-and-reel outfit ready to fish out of the case rather than researching individual components. Less suited to an angler chasing a narrow niche use, like long-distance saltwater casting, without first confirming which variant matches that use.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers repeatedly called the combo strong value for a complete, ready-to-fish outfit, and praised Redington's warranty service after a reel drag failed. One buyer's rod snapped on only its third cast, and another noted the included reel is serviceable but not the standout piece of the kit.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Listing spans multiple rod weight and style variants
- One reported rod failure after light use
Performance notes
Buyers across different variants described the outfits as balanced and enjoyable to fish, with the rod holding zero once mounted correctly and enough backbone to fight stream trout while staying sensitive to light strikes. On the downside, one buyer's rod broke on an early outing, and another needed a reel replaced under warranty after the drag failed, with Redington covering return shipping and following up on stock delays.
