Where can i get a good fly rod?

I broke mine! Need 5/6 weight, looking at Streamline 906-2 Mid Flex by orvis? Is this a good one for $96, thanks

  1. Bass Pro has a VERY large selection of fishing rods.
  2. Bass Pro or Cabelas
  3. I agree. www.basspro.com www.cabelas.com (Wait for Pheasant Tail or Sagefisher's answer's. PT or Sf will know a good bargain in that price range.)
  4. Check LL Bean - they have lifetime warranties on their product. The great rods like Sage, Winston etc. have warranties as well but are much more expensive.
  5. In what country are you based? I can help you out if you give more details. Orvis are OK but generally over-priced. There are cheaper options.
  6. Please remember, that for $100 you are not going to get the greatest components (reel seat, cork, guides) but you definetely will get a very decent rod to fish. Cabela's Traditional - this rod costs $70 and would be hard to beat for value. Mid-flex, and decent components. St. Croix Triumph - this rod costs $90 and is a very decent starter rod. Medium fast action, stainless guides and an aluminum reel seat. Orvis - right now Orvis has some of their Clearwater rods on sale for under $100. They are a better rod than the Streamline and have a 25 year guarantee, the Streamline rods do not. Redington Crosswater - This rod costs $89 and is a great value. Medium fast action. This rod has the most "crisp" feel for any rod under $100 If you want to spend a little extra, it would be hard to beat a Sage Launch for $175. If possible, try to test cast the rod before purchasing it. If it feels right to you, then it is the right one to purchase. Check out the Sage website, they have a Dealer locator on their website. For the most part, wherever you buy Sage rods, you'll be able to buy Redington since Sage owns them. St. Croix also lists a Dealer locator online. Since you already mentioned Orvis, you know where to go for an Orvis rod, and of course, Cabela's equipment can be purchased on-line or if you are fortunate enough to live near one of their outlets, you can get a Cabela's rod there (and probably all the other rods I listed).
  7. yep i would give bas pro a shot and i would go for the orvis but if you can afford any better buy a sage
