M MAXIMUMCATCH Maxcatch Extreme Fly Fishing Combo Kit 3/5/6/8 Weight, Starter Fly Rod and Reel Outfit, with a Protective Travel Case

Great beginning kit. Fly selection is lacking but that is easily fixed. Slightly heavier rod but not enough to make a difference in a day of casting. I would give 8.5-9 if a $400 set up from Orvis or Cortland was a 10. Great place to start to get into fly fishing

Bought this for a rough and ready trip in the backwoods. Very good setup for a beginner. Rod is balanced good, decent assortment of flys. Have caught several hundred fish on this setup with no issues.

Received my maxcatch extreme 9’ #6 with 5/6 reel today it was packaged very nice and everything inside the hard sturdy case. Everything seems to be exactly as described. The fly case is handle and a fits in the side pockets of the sturdy rod/reel case. The only problem that I see is that the lanyard clip where you would hood your snips to the rivet came undone and fell apart. Other than that you won’t go wrong with this setup

Works good for a starter set. After a couple years everything still works.

Great rod and reel in my opinion. Only been fly fishing for a few yrs, and to find a decent priced 8wt, that’s made good and works well was awesome. I’ve had this for about a yr and half now and I’ve put it through everything. Stays in my truck most of the time cause I never know when I feel like fishing and it still works great! Totally recommend!

I did all the research, took a few rods out for a test drive and had absolutely loved the Eco Lift starter combo, but balked at the price.Based on a number of reviews and articles I read, I took a gamble on this Maxcatch combo and have NOT been disappointed.The accessories it comes with are great and good for getting started right out the gate - but the really win is the rod itself. Very well balanced, light, flexible, and easy to work. I've spent 4 months fishing with it and it continues to feel great, casts easy, and is simply a lot of fun.My father in law is a VETERAN fly fisherman and was quite impressed with this combo when he borrowed it, so it's not just my novice opinion here.Only critique is that the reel sometimes struggles to seat in the cradle, and then once seated can be difficult to unseat. I solve for this by leaving the reel and base section of the rod assembled.Pick it up, take it for a spin. You'll be glad you did.

Was good buy good quality.!

I can’t compare it to much but I have a martin fly rod combo for 30$. I thought that was a decent setup. I pulled the trigger on this combo 8wt because I want to up my game. Oh man what a huge difference..The handle is a soft touch cork.The rod feels really light.The rod case is nice and solid for protecting it.It came with some flies that seem decent to start with and a fly case.The reel is awesome compared to the martin combo I have, adjustable drag/doesn’t click while reeling, much bigger size, and the quality look/feel is great.The casting is super easy for me. Barely had to try and it wanted to throw the line like it wasn’t even there..I received it today and immediately took it to the lake around the corner and I messed around with it. Caught a bunch of bluegill on it, 8wt is pretty over kill for panfish but I wasn’t catching any bass at that area so I switched to small flies.I will update this post if any issues arise from more usage!I highly recommend this combo! As an upgrade from some thing like the martin combos that are cheap.. or even skip the cheaper combos all together and go for one of these!
