Guide Series Combo Outfit

When NKFF started teaching Fly Fishing Classes thirty or so years ago we started with 5 G1000 Cortland Outfits in 8-foot, 2-piece, 5-wt lines. Trying to fill out our 15 outfits to 20 so we can teach more folks in each class, we purchased 5 of the Guide Series Combo's in 8-foot, 4-pieece 4-wt lines and upgraded the lines to 5-wt Double Tapers. Really smooth casting for the beginners.

Perfect to get the job done.

I’m a relatively new fly fisher, I started with a 5/6 wt fair play combo I used on an off for a couple of years. I moved to northern New York and wanted to step up my wt for salmon and steel head so I order the 8 wt guide series. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Combo casts like a dream comparatively! The only problem keeping this review from a 5 start is that it seems to be a soft 8 wt and has a hard time turning over some larger heavier flies I expected it to be fine with. Might have been my inexperience setting me up for failure. Attached picture is the steel head I caught using the combo

A great combo which can be appreciated

by all levels of fly fishers beginner or pro

This is a great combo. Cortland is one the best brands on the market and a name you can trust for quality.
