Cheap Fly Fishing Rods
which fly rod?
hi, can anyone recomend a good fast, tip action fly rod which isnt a crazy price to buy. At the minute im using a 10 foot, 8wt shakespeare odyssey fly for fishing mostly loughs. Im not so well up on which makes of fly rod are good and i hear a lot of people saying that some of the expensive rods are overpriced and that a cheaper one would throw a line just as well if not better.
As far as I’m aware the Shakespeare oddessy is a medium to fast action, so i assume your making the switch to tip action rods? well Ive learned a bit in my time fly fishing that very often you do get what you pay for, what price range were you considering? the best link i can give you is to Glasgow angling center, shop around as they can get too expensive.
if you want a quality rod i recomend the greys G-Tec, it isnt too badly priced and has a nice smooth tip action

If they are out of your price range go for the greys GRXI rods, they are a quality rod at a good price. I dont recommend the greys G-series, although its a good rod at a very low price it doesnt have a tip action and isntead is middle to tip action.
My choice if i was you would be this, the Sharpes of Aberdeen, Gordon rod, they have a quick tip action and for a low price, they are well made and worth a look at

The last rod is suggest you look at and consider is the diawa wilderness, i was sent one of these as a gift from a very good friend of mine in the UK, i have the travel rod version but the other models are execellent for the price.
If you fish allot of the time and want a comfortable rod with a great tip action then is suggest the sage z-axsis, i own one and to be honest i fish with hardly anything else.
Last rod you may like to look at is this, the sage launch, it has all the features of the top end rods but at a lower price and a life time warranty, my son has one and even though he is starting out the tip action is great (4 sections although this doesnt really affect new fly rods)

Cheap Fly Fishing Rods
Fly Fishing Rod for the beginner!
Usually beginners find it hard to look for the best fly fishing rods they need to use in fly fishing. It is because fly rods have different types for every fishing situation. As a beginner, you should consider the location or place where to fish either in still waters, lakes, streams and oceans. Then, determine what type of rods is perfect in that location. The length and the weight of the rod depend also in different fishing situations and locations. With this, it is very important to choose the right rod along with your Fly Fishing Reels and fly lines.
It is not advisable for the beginners to buy the fly fishing rods that are not fit and comfortable to use. This will make your fishing activity very difficult. In addition, the beginners should also consider the price of the fly rods. There are some fly rods that are too expensive. If you are just a beginner, you should buy the lesser or cheap fly rods and of good quality. It is not the price that counts but the manner in using the same. The length and the weight should be given importance by every beginner. This will determine if he has the capacity to effectively use the fly rods in the water. The light weight rod is easier to use and manage. This is most likely advantage for the beginners.
The most common fly fishing rods are the graphite, cane, and fiberglass. The fiberglass is said to be easy to use because of its durability and light to use. This is more favorable to the beginners. The cane and the fiberglass are said to be cheaper compared to the graphite. But when it comes to durability the graphite is still the best option to use. There are also some anglers who used the bamboo rods. However, it is said to be more expensive compared to a graphite rod.
Fly fishing is not an easy thing to do when you are in actual fishing situation. Fishing location plays an important part in determining what kind and length of the fly rods you need to use. If you were able to understand the basics of casting you will find it easy to use the different kinds of tools especially the fly rods.
Moreover, it is advisable for the beginner to visit some fly shops before buying the fly rods. This is to prevent from buying the fly rods that are not good and better for the beginners. You can also visit some online websites that offers a lesser and quality fly rods. This will help you to get familiar with the different types of the fly rods available in the market. You have to make sure that you were able to exhaust all the best remedies in selecting the right rods. Otherwise, no matter how expensive it is yet, if you are not comfortable to use it because of the size which does not fit to your hand, everything will become useless.
