$219.95
The TFO NXT Black Label Series is an affordable and versatile medium-fast action rod with excellent feedback and performance for all skill levels. This is a combo kit and includes everything you need to get started: rod, reel, case, backing, fly line, and tapered leader. Key Features: - Medium-Fast Action - The versatile action is forgiving for new casters and yet powerful enough for casting on those windy days. - Stainless-Steel Disc Drag System Reel - The sturdy, corrosion-resistant design works for both fresh and saltwater fishing alike. - Weight-Forward Floating Fly Line - Great choice for a variety of water conditions and the welded loop makes swapping out leaders a breeze. - Temple Fork Outfitter's Unconditional Lifetime 'No Fault Warranty' - The warranty is a safeguard for those 'oops' moments when you inevitably snap a rod section.
