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

Benjamin T. : This is a great rod and reel for the price

This is a great rod and reel for the price. My issue is the reel on this combo. The reel has a nice quality drag but I wish when reeling it in it would ratchet. It just free wheels with no friction and will reel itself in unexpectedly while you're fishing.

Brody Dunford : Five Stars

Nice fly rod!!! Nice case!!!!! Nice reel!!!!

Amazon Customer : ... stateside Upgrade the line and now you have a great setup Very nice case Drag on the reel is ...

As advertised
Wish it was made stateside
Upgrade the line and now you have a great setup
Very nice case
Drag on the reel is no problem

CDC : Otherwise pleased.

For some reason they securely taped the leader with clear tape, resulting in inadvertently cutting the leader when freeing it. Otherwise pleased.

Used this rod and reel was pretty nice. the reel and line are not the best but it would be good for a first timer like i am

Michael : Five Stars

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

George C. Cook : Adamsbuilt HO2 Rod and Reel Combination

The fly rod is a replacement for an older fly rod and reel that I lost out of a trailered kayak because I inadvertently neglected to tether it to the kayak. I am impressed by the quality of the rod and reel and carrying case. The backer, fly line and leader are a bonus. I am looking forward to my next kayak fishing trip. Any comments about performance should be left to the more experienced fly fisherman but this outfit seems like it will give me many hours of "flailing" enjoyment on the water.

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.

Benjamin T. : This is a great rod and reel for the price

Rphil70 : Excellent Size and Quality

Perfect for putting in the backpack. Quality is very good.

Amazon Customer : Good Value

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

Amazon Customer : Nothing

Used for fly fishing. Excellent starter package.

Mark Fitz-Patrick : Five Stars

Works well!

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.

john peterson : Five Stars

great quality

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.

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.

M : Five Stars

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

Jasmine : wonderful gift

item was purchased a birthday gift and was well received

C. Wrenn : Great starter combo. All you need are some small popper sang bugs to get rolling.

I have caught both bass and panfish on this combo. I will say my one recommendation would be for them to offer different taper options. I believe it comes with a trout taper and is not the best. Other than that, no complaints from me. It's so easy to use that my son was casting it in under 5 minutes.

julie geiser : Great fly rod and reel

Great fly rod and reel! Can't wait to get out and use it.

john peterson : Five Stars

great quality

Jason Covaleski : Five Stars

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.
