Our shop also offers reel cases for your fly reels. These protect the reels from damp, dirt and mechanical issues so they are in perfect working order when you need to use them. Make sure you don't compromise on storage options, especially when it comes to your tackle. It's always worth investing in good protection for your fly fishing gear – you'll find what you need at VOSSELER.
As a newcomer, you might want to get a feel for casting with a fly rod first. Fly rod performance matters here. Some fly rods are slow while others are medium-fast or very fast. To start off, we recommend purchasing a fly rod that you can use for practice to learn how to stay in control. Once you've got to grips with all the gear, you can then move up to a faster fly rod.
As a fly angler, you can choose between single-handed and double-handed rods. If you'll mainly be fishing in freshwater, we recommend a single-handed rod, which is also suitable for trout. Hard-fighting fish, on the other hand, require tackle that is up to the task. If this is your thing, you should go for a double-handed rod. As the name suggests, you hold it with both hands for greater stability.
Fly rods also come in varying lengths. If you fish small still waters or bigger rivers, you can choose a 2.8 m to 3 m model. The next size up for fly fishing from a boat or in larger still waters is the 3.3 m model. If you plan to start out in small streams, you can go for a 1.5 m to 2.4 m fly rod. Would you rather have a fly rod that takes some of the effort out of casting? If so, you can opt for a handy 3.4 m model.
