2 out of 5 stars worthless reel, dont buy   July 6, 2010

Although this is the cheapest combo you can find. the reel is plastic and does not work as you would expect at the bare minimum. The tension settings are just plain poor and not adjustable beyond the weight of a nail.

You may want to consider something else but you will definitely want to purchase a different reel if you buy this, so you basically bought a rod and fly fishing line since the reel is useless.

If I knew the reel was one step up from a toy, I would of purchased the martin fly rod and reel combo. Its more money but will last for years and the reel is quite good and sturdy.
I would pass on crystal river if I was you.
By the way, I bought two crystal river kits and both reels were poorly made and operational so it wasnt just the one kit that was poorly made, it was both.

Nice fly rod and reel package. Had it set up in minutes! Good sturdy construction. Just no fish yet.


4 out of 5 stars Nice rod and reel. Flies. . .not so much.   August 3, 2009

The rod and reel seem acceptable. I'm planning to replace the reel with something made of metal.

The flies, on the other hand, were put together with a non-waterproof glue. After three casts I was fishing with a naked hook.

Great value.You get a good ,light, action rod .A perfectly functioning (plastic) reel,2 wet flies,fly-line and a leader. Ideal for learner/beginner or in my case an old veteran fisherman. You can easily replace the reel with a better model should you wish later. The rod has a nice even action and I was surprised at how good it reacted. Make sure to buy your own Flies before using it(As all flies are local and seasonal). I would recommend this .

The rod and reel set arrived on time and in good shape. If I was able to determine the length of each rod section before ordering (I guessed) I would have known ahead of time that the rod sections were to long to fit the rod holder I have.
