What makes our kits different?

What makes our kits different?

All fly fishing kits are not created equal. There are a lot of packages being sold by new, overseas sellers looking to make a quick buck that have never even cast a fly rod or seen a trout. The newcomers with anonymous brands can only copy what we have created. 



The copy is never as good as the original! Wild Water has been offering the best package for the money since 2006. Unlike some cheap, generic packages found online, Wild Water has selected and tested each component in our starter packages to make sure you get only the best. 

Yes! We actually use our own rods. Wild Water doesn’t put components in our kits that you don’t need just to make it seem like you are getting a good deal. In most cases we redesigned components of the kit to make it work better than the competition.



The only other USA companies that do the same level of design and testing are going to charge you over $200 for a similar product. Every Wild Water package arrives at your door ready-to-fish. All you need to do is put the rod together, attach the reel, thread the line and tie on a fly. 



Wild Water’s fly fishing packages come with a quick reference guide for beginners that we are always updating. If you ever have a question or a problem, you can always call our customer service located in the USA! We’re always here to help.

The kit and videos were very well prepared to introduce the tenkara setup. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to tie the tenkara line to the Lillian. The one video that showed the process I was unable to follow. The gentleman in the video mentioned that a diagram would be prepared to illustrate the process. If you could send me a detailed step by step diagram to tie the line to the Lillian, I would be most appreciative!

First Tenkara Rod

I’ve been very happy with this kit as my first foray into the world of tenkara. Although I don’t have a point of comparison, the rod is easy to cast with the supplied flies, durable enough for the variety of different species we catch here in Nebraska. The price of entry is well worth it and I’m very happy with the quality thus far.

Awesome Gift

I got this kit as a gift and I am absolutely satisfied with the quality, assortment and products included. I am planning on getting other choices as time goes by, since it is a great equipment for casting lovers.

Pretty Happy With It

Bought this Tenkara rod because I have the 7 piece Wild Water 5 weight fly rod and love it… So far I have only gotten out with the Tenkara rod once but I would say it’s just as good as the higher dollar rods manufactured by other companies. There’s definitely going to be a learning curve to overcome but this rod was a great investment in my fly fishing rod collection.

Great setup

I’m pleased with my first Tenkara rod, comes with everything that you need to start fishing. I do wish that Wild Water had replacement lines for sale on their website but they are easily replaced with an internet search.
