Cortland Guide Freshwater Outfit 9′ 7 Wt – 4pc
Cortland Line’s new Guide Series fly fishing outfits were designed by hardcore anglers to offer premium performance at an affordable price. Without a doubt, the “expensive” stigma shadows over the sport of fly fishing, with little attention to detail for both beginner and intermediate level anglers. These outfits were built using quality components and tested for long-term abuse.

The rod feels light and responsive. The reel has good drag and the backing is sufficient for most freshwater fishing. The case is sturdy and keeps everything organized. I’ve used it for several trips and it holds up well.

Good value for the price. The action is smooth and the leader is well-tapered. The only thing missing is a more durable reel seat, but overall it works well for beginners and intermediate anglers.

I bought this for my son who’s just starting fly fishing. The setup is easy to use and the rod is strong without being heavy. The two-color line is nice to see in the water. It’s a solid entry-level outfit.
