i am fairly new to fly fishing so am currently looking for a full setup to get me on my way at local stillwaters. today i went to my local tackle shop and was offered,
greys gs 9'6 6/7#
greys gx500 reel
greys floating line,
greys intermediate line
greys fly box
50 flies

for £140

worth it?
thanks in advance.

sounds good to me but you better wait for the pros opinions...

Sounds good.

I would have asked to test the rod though. Just to make sure it feels right to you.

The GS rod retails at about £85 and the reel at £50 which pretty much takes you to the £140 anyway.
Seeing as you are getting two flylines, will they provide you with a spare spool for the reel? If not you will need a spare spool (£10 each) to hold the second fly line.
Are the flies just bulk packs or will they be suited to the waters you are going to fish? It is better to have 10 of the right flies than 50 of the wrong ones.

Airflo Forty Plus Nantec Rods

Looks good value for money at market level.

Rod, reel, 3 spare spools plus line! for £120.
seems a steal.

Cant comment on rod, apart from fact I have a blue nano 10' #11, is well finished, and does what I want!
regards

yes i will get a spare spool with it and they are going to load the reel with backing braided loops line etc
i think the flies are 50 of my choice, but i will have to check that for sure.
thanks johnnie

Very sound advice.
