I don't get to fish the salt much. So when I was looking for a setup I was trying not to break the bank but also not looking to skimp on quality. Then in my search, Douglas dropped the ERA and for the price tag, I had to give it a try. The ERA is surprising in about every metric... Read more
Ideal for
- Insanely budget friendly. Won't find a better rod in the price range
- Performs well and loads quickly for saltwater appliations
- Beginner friendly. Easy rod to learn to cast on.
Not ideal for
- Very heavy feel if casting all day.
- Loses power outside as reaching the 60' range.

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

Danny is very knowledgeable about fly fishing while still being approachable and easy going. He answers questions in a straightforward and honest way without applying any pressure to make a sale. In my case, i truly felt like he wanted me to get the best gear at the best price.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.

I wanted to purchase gifts for my husband and son as they are slowly getting into fly fishing. Matt was really helpful in taking a look at what they already have and made excellent recommendations on what they need. I cannot wait to look like a superhero and see the joy on my son’s face with a big thanks to Matt!!

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
