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.

This is a good starter rod. It tends to be good test rod for beginner fly fishers that will help you decide if the sport is for you. It is stout rod that handles strong fish well. The rod is on the heavier side and may tire your arm out with use throughout the day. The Nxt Black Label fly... Read more

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.

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.

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.
