*Wow. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I must say this rod has exceeded my expectations. Nice quality, budget friendly rod. May have to buy another one in the near future!*
Could you recommend a good travel (multi section) saltwater fly rod ? There seems to be a big gap in this market despite the amount of people fly to fish ..
Saltwater reels have sealed drags and corrosion resistant components to help prevent salt from damaging the reel. You can use saltwater reels on freshwater but using freshwater reels on saltwater can harm them. At the very least you should be diligent in rinsing off all of your reels after using in and around saltwater.
In addition to the corrosion resistant advantage of saltwater specific reels, size range is also a factor. Most salt specific models begin at 7/8 weight, a bit large for a typical trout rod. That said, other than a budget limitation, I would never by a non-salt rated reel for a heavyweight freshwater rod, why limit future use.
Not always an option Bob! I’ve lived in places where the nearest fly shop is 4000 miles away and luckily online shops like Trident Fly Fishing or Amazon are the only way for me to get gear.
Those bang for buck rods are the best rods for those people who are looking for value. We try to make fly fishing inclusive. Not everyone has $1000 for a rod.
@@intoflyfishing agreed but it’s not reflected in the title. You could have a $100 rod in the mix and that’s the best rod for someone that has a $100 budget….

returned my tomas because the nut reels has ugly burs on it..looked at others and its same.. ugly nut burs looks cheap.. not worth 1k+ for a reel nut to be sloppy burs..i see 150$ reels with better quality nuts

T&T Zone is a great rod. Winston Air Salt is superb. Hardy Zane Pro is the best I have ever cast. Good luck!
Anywhere you would recommend to get a good used get started in Saltwater, Like an older version of the brans in this video?
Depending on where you live I’d try Facebook marketplace. I’ve sold some rods there and saw some for sale.
I saw a Lamson Cobalt show up early in the video, was hoping you were going to mention it…any thoughts on that rod?
Nice to see Strand in the Cape. Great fishing spot.
For affordable rods - St. Croix Imperial Salt
Great rec. Thanks!
Heard from a lot fo people that was a good one, I might need to try it out. Maybe after I break something I can't replace.

Wdym most rods are 4 piece and can be carried with your carryon. TFO mangrove coast is a good rod and is 4 piece
The best flyrod is the one you can afford. Bass Pro, Cabelas, some type of package deal. Just get it and go fishing. That's the best flyrod.
What about ORVIS , LOOP , VISION , WINSTON , HARDY ....?
I agree with Winston on that and they’ll likely have a rod on the next list.
I’m very surprised an Orvis H3 is not on the list
I think this is just new models from the last year or so. Someone was drinking the icast koolaid. Also, that cast ....
Orvis H3 easily is one my favourite rods I've used and has made other lists. We also have a hands on review of it in 2 weights.
Too expensive?
Can I buy a saltwater reel and use on freshwater? Can I use my freshwater reel and use on salt? Would love to know the answer and also why

Best 'glass rods for saltwater?
Great idea. I’ll look into making this soon
Redington Predator very good also
Agreed. We list it on some other lists!
Amazon? Come on man. Find the rod you want at a fly shop. They're always the same price everywhere.

The list doesn’t make sense in reflection of the title. Mid-range rods are “bang for buck” options, they’re not the best.

A title like "The Best $100 For People Who Have $100 Budget And The Best Fly Rods For People Who Have $1000 Budget" Just doesn't have the same ring 😉
