Questions about 890545 Adamsbuilt Combo 9' 5WT Rod - HO2 Reel with Case

What color is the line?

Answer: The line provided is a neon yellow in color.

Answer: Yellow

Answer: Yellow.

is this a good beginners rod

Answer: It was for my husbands first fly fishing attempt and he was very happy with it.

what is the difference between the Adamsbuilt HO1 and this HO2?

Can this be taken inside a backpack as carry on in airplane?

Answer: It's 31" long. I just measured it. It all depends on the size of the backpack.

What is the handle of the rod made out of?

How long does it typically take to get these in stock once they're out?

Does it come with tippet?

Answer: I think leader and tippet are on you.

how flexable is this rod?

Answer: It's uncoordinated.. Standard 5-6 wt flex I bought as beginner I sold it recently and bought reddington 4wt and a sage reel for the same price and it is ten times the set up.. I found both the rod and reel at half price on cabelas

Answer: I have only used the rod a couple of times but found it to be flexible and of good quality. I enjoy fly fishing from my kayak but in no means consider myself to be a fly fisherman. I guess you could consider me to be a beginner but I sure do have a great time.

how flexable is this rod?

Can you change the reel it to right-hand retrieve? I am left-handed.

Answer: Yes. You have to take the spool off, then there's a metal clip, like a horseshoe that holds the plastic washer, and then you can remove the clutch bearing. This bearing has to be flipped around for the retreive to reverse direction. Once you put it back on, just reverse the previous steps :)

who makes the reel ,more info please.also what shipping date arrival time nc,usa

Does the reel have a quality drag feature?

Answer: Yes

Does this have a leader attached to the line? If so, any idea what kind?

Answer: It did come with a leader attached. I am not sure what kind it was.

Answer: Yes. Don't know what kind.

Answer: Yes, but the brand is not specified.

Does this come with a warranty?

Answer: Below I have a link to their website warranty. At this price point it is only for product failure. Higher priced rods can carry no questions asked warranties. Good Luck.. http://www.adamsbuiltfishing.com/pages/our-guarantee

Answer: I believe so. But I bought mine at Cabella's and they took back another of my outfits when I broke the tip. So if you buy it at a similar sports store I'm sure it's warranted, but if you get it online and that's a concern, you should verify it with Amazon.

Product reviews of 890545 Adamsbuilt Combo 9' 5WT Rod - HO2 Reel with Case

Howie : love it.

Simple...love it.

JJ : Nice rod and reel

Great set up for this price. I did a bunch of research prior to purchase and am glad I had it with me on my first fly trip.

NHOutdoorsman : Five Stars

Excellent the rod functions great. A little light for a beginner though

karen rhees : Five Stars

Great set - ready to go. Met my expectations.

Amazon Customer : Good Value

Solid combo for the price. Rod casts well and I have pulled in large stripers. Reel is nice as well.

Diane/Mike Stamm : Awesome customer service!

Developed a problem with my several-years-old reel, but Adamsbuilt fixed it and returned it within in week -- without charge!

HonestLor : goes together and comes apart quickly and easily and packages up nicely in the case

Purchased for my son in law who is an avid fly fisherman.
He loves it. Light weight, goes together and comes apart quickly and easily and packages up nicely in the case.
Very easy to pack into hard to get to favorite fishing places. (5 fish caught the first time he used it).

Jordan Andruski : you couldn't ask for a better outfit for the money

Honestly, you couldn't ask for a better outfit for the money. Really smooth action and very high quality, especially the reel.

Jason Covaleski : Five Stars

Love it

Josh C. : adamsbuilt fly combo

Im a trout fishing guide in se oklahoma and this combo is perfect for clients new to fly fishing its affordable has a great action for beginner to advanced. I would highly recommend anyone new to flyfishing to purchase this rod reel and case combo. Its not how much you spend on your gear but how you spend your time on the water.

John moore : Hopefully it was just a fluke thing

Got a mmh 9" 4 piece for Christmas. First time using it broke on my 3rd cast. I'm hoping my mother who bought it can find the credit card reciept and adamsbuilt will send a new piece. It snapped near the connection end of the reel holder piece for no good reason. Ruined my trip I drive 4 hours for.

Amazon Customer : ... go fishing with it but so far it feels great while practicing

Still need to go fishing with it but so far it feels great while practicing.

Sherri : Five Stars

Thanks, Very nice

Alphonso C. : Five Stars

Great starter rod. Well balanced.

Mark Fitz-Patrick : Five Stars

Works well!

Abe : Amazing

Normally I write reviews to inform others that they shouldn't waste their money on a product if I bought it and didn't serve its purpose. With this rod and reel combo, it's worth a good review. Really good quality for the price the guides are nice the rod is pretty good as well. My favorite part was the reel. An aluminum reel for that price is fatastic. Deserves 5 stars. And pre-spoiled backing, fly line and attached leader! The only thing that annoyed me was I can get a little impatient when it comes to something I really want. So a week felt like a month haha. Amazing rod and reel. With out a doubt recommend
