Horizon Rookie Fly Rod, 5wt, 9 Foot, 4 Piece
A 5 weight rod is considered the most versatile of the line weights. It can be used for most of the freshwater conditions you encounter in your fly fishing exploits. It covers fly fishing for trout in rivers, lakes and ponds, fishing for yellowfish on the Vaal river or Stekfontien Dam, and can be used for bass, barbel and carp.
5 weight fly rods are generally considered the work horse or “go-to” rod for the fly angler. If you’re confused about what line weight you should get first, we believe it is a 5 weight.
The Rookie is the perfect rod for fly anglers wanting to get started in fly-fishing. It plugs an entry-level price point but the rod is anything but entry-level when it comes to performance.
