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.

Robert E. Hall : It's functional

It's functional but I am not blown away with it. Feels a little heavy. There are some nice to haves missing that one would have with a more expensive outfit like a leader loop on the fly line. Saying that, easily upgraded. Nice case. I would say reasonable value for the price.

Michael : Five Stars

Good quality for the price. The reel could be a little smoother, but overall a decent fly rod.

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.

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.

Carl Torres : Five Stars

nice!!!

M : Five Stars

Love the metal reel. Most packages at this price offer a plastic reel

William V Braniff : I am a beginning fly fisherman, so can't tell ...

I am a beginning fly fisherman, so can't tell you much. I did catch my very first fish with that outfit. A 15 inch native speckled trout in a branch of Moosehead Lake in Maine. So, yes I am enjoying it. I am sure when I get more knowledgeable I will advance to a higher level on my equipment.

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.

ryan jerothe : Four Stars

So far so good! Great quality for a great price

David P. Tancrell : Good first rod for the money and well made.

Brand new rod had some scratches and reel had some kind of metal junk on it. Overall a nice real rod and well made except for the minor issue I had. Amazon price range $141 to $97. It will drop. Buy when cheap. I now own two.

Sherri : Five Stars

Great rod and reel for the price. Will get many hours of use.

Julia : The very first time I took my rod out to ...

The very first time I took my rod out to practice casting, the reel flew off of the rod on the forward cast and fell into the Potomac. I was able to retrieve the reel, but only after unwinding the entire spool. I now have a a huge wadded mess of line I'm not sure what to do with. When the company advertised the rod was "ready to hit the water", they were serious! I suppose it's my fault that I didn't check it had been assembled correctly before I cast it. Very expensive first lesson.

Mya Maria : Cheap rod. Save your money.

Had this in storage since 2014. Went fishing today 5/25/16. Removed the rod, set it up turned around and the rod brook before the first cast. Looks like the rod is made of really useless material. DO NOT BUY THIS!

Amazon Is my other ride : Five Stars

NIce rod and reel combo for the money. Couldn't ask for a better starter rod for my son
