How To Fly Fish | Get Started Fly Fishing | Martin Fly Fishing Kit Review👍👍👍

Closing out the Getting Started Fly Fishing series with a Product Review of the Martin Fly Fishing Kit which comes with rod, reel, fly line, backing, and leader as well as fishing flies and an instruction booklet. It comes ready to fish - just tie on a fishing fly.

Review provides recommendations and tips to get started in fly fishing and some thoughts on what to do next after fishing with the combo

PS: Do check back on a follow-up video where I cast the combo with the level line that reel came with  compared to casting with a shooting head - specifically, the OPST Commando Head!

Wooley Bugger Came Through | Martin Fly Fishing Combo Is a Great Starter Kit 👍👍👍

Ready to closeout the Getting Started Fly Fishing $33 Amazon Challenge after one more round at a local pond. Martin Fly Fishing Kit has been a great deal... fly rod and reel; fly line, backing and leader; and fishing flies, too!

And, this round... the Wooley Bugger took a beating and was retired but it came through with Bass and Bluegill caught. Also, was able to show the false casts that I  used to cast the level line for distance.

Do check back... plan to post a closeout video with thoughts on the Martin Fly Fishing Kit and an extra video where I add an OPST Commando Head to the combo!

$33 Martin Fly Fishing Combo Is a Deal! Pond Fly Fishing 👍👍👍

Back to a local pond that I have not fished for in awhile to “test” the Martin Fly Fishing Combo sold in a kit by Amazon. Using a Muddler Minnow that came with the kit. It’s beaten up but still catches fish. Lots of fun, and got a new idea for the next video in the series where I use only 32 feet of line to fish. The intent… you don’t need to cast long distances to catch fish to get started fly fishing! Stay tuned for more!

Try These Two Modifications for the Martin Fly Fishing Combo

Before you go fishing with the Martin Fly Fishing Combo, try these two modifications.

• Mod 1. If you want to change reel’s left-hand retrieve to a right-hand retrieve.
• Mod 2. Add a section of 30lbs mono to replace the knot used to connect the fly line to the leader with a loop to loop connection.

Works for similar single action fly reels that use a click-pawl drag aka clicker. Do check back for the next video if the Getting Started Fly Fishing – $33 Amazon Challenge… look for DIY Leader Recipe that show how we make our own fly fishing leaders instead of buying them!
