4 AMAZING Fly Rods For Under $100

Fly rods are extremely important but finding the right one can be difficult. Couple this with being new to the sport and you might find that your wallet might be a little smaller than your eyes. Because of this common problem we wanted to give you an idea of some fly rods that are great for all around fishing and for your budget. Whether you're just looking for a backup rod or you want to purchase a combo kit, these 5 fly rods are the best buys for your money.

1. Okuma S-903-5

Price: $67

The S-903-5 is one of the best fly rod combo sets that you will find on the market.

This combo comes with a spooled reel with backing, fly line and tippet. The rod is a 5wt, 9 foot which allows you to easily fish for trout, bluegill or bass. The rod itself has stainless steel snake guides and comes with aluminum oxide stripper guides.

The combo comes with an Okuma Caskade reel that has a drag system so you can adjust the drag for whatever you want to fish. The reel doesn't have the finish that other reels do, but it's also a fraction of the cost. It doesn't matter if you're an expert or a beginner, you're going to love this combo.

2.  Scientific Anglers 4-Piece Fly Fishing Trout Outfit

Price: $60

One thing that we hear all the time from beginners is that they simply can't decide on whether or not they should build their own setup or if they should go with a combo. 

Once you start fly fishing a lot you're going to want to buy different rods and reels, tippets, backing, the list goes on and one. When you're first starting out, a combo is the best place to start and this Scientific Anglers 4 piece is a great place to begin. 

One of things that we like about this rod is that it's a four piece. This gives it stability and the ability to fish for different species. Yes, it's designed for trout, but you can easily fish for bass or even do some saltwater fishing with it. The rod is sturdy enough for some largemouth bass so take it to a pond or heavy river! 

3. Redington Crosswater Fly Rod

Price: $59.99-$89.99 

The Redington Crosswater Fly Rod is one of the most versatile fly rods out there. Redington is a great company that makes some of the best rods on the market, but what we're really stunned by is their entry level fly rods. 

The Crosswater line was designed to give people a great rod at an even better price. This specific series comes in several different sizes so you can customize what you're fishing for. It's a graphite fly rod so you will be able to tackle bass, panfish or even some trout. It comes with a low density cork handle for a good grip. 

4.  Wright & McGill Generation II S-Curve

Designed for a wide range of tasks, the Wright and McGill Generation II S-Curve is an excellent rod for any angler. The S-Curve line comes in different weights and lengths so you can get the rod that is perfect for your specific fishing. Go from arctic grayling to salmon in a second.

What really makes this a great rod is that it's a 4-piece. It's hard to find a 4-piece for less than a hundred dollars, but Wright and McGill has made strides in offering quality rods that won't make you sacrifice a mortgage payment. This rod also comes with a lifetime guarantee in the event that it does break for some reason. It even comes with a snazzy rod tube!
