Ask Curated a question about this product:
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.

- Great for anyone getting started in fly fishing.
- Setup and ready with backing, fly line, and leader.
- Comes with a lifetime no-fault warranty.
Not ideal for
- These fly rods are known for breaking in the tip section. I consider the Pro II a better and more durable option.
- Due to wear and tear, the fly line will need to be replaced within six months to a year. I suggest Rio Gold.

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.
