Is the Orvis Encounter Fly Rod & Reel Outfit an entry-level fly fishing combo? Perhaps, although Orvis likens this fly fishing outfit as "affordable awesomeness." Traditionally, the Encounter rod series is light, responsive, durable, and looks good (always a nice bonus). The fly rod's forgiving action aids beginners in finding their casting stroke, yet it is snappy enough to deliver tight loops for the more practiced in the sport of fly fishing.

The affordable Encounter Fly Rod Boxed Outfit comes set up with a weight-forward floating line, backing, leader, and rod and reel carrier. Practice a little in the yard, add fly, and find water! Perfect for the novice angler or those returning to the world of fly fishing, the Orvis Encounter Fly Rod & Reel Outfit is a dependable fly rod and reel combo – it may be easily the best value-priced outfit of its kind.
