hey everyone,its been a while since ive been on here...

 i dont do a lot of fly fishing,but i do a few trips a year and would love to have a quality fly combo,but carrying a 9' rod through the bush is not fun.id like a 4-6 piece kit with line,backing and a few flies..preferrably both floating and sinking line....

 i remember seeing a nice kit a few years ago,but i forget the name.does anyone know of a good travel combo kit?

generally, most fly rods are 4 piece, that being said, TFO makes a decent kit as does redington.  however, the reel and line on either one are low end and usually only offer the floating line, so you'll have to buy the sinking line.  

 

you'll also need to buy flies and leaders and tippet
