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.

Great Value for Money

This is a remarkable small stream tenkara rod! It is soft-tipped but with enough backbone to snag larger trout in brushy streams where longer rods would be nearly impossible to cast. This rod compares favorably with rods that cost double the price. I have compared it to a $265 rod I own and can discover very little difference between it and the Wild Water Shorty! I don't know how the company did it, but they really hit the magic formula for small creeks with this one. Absolutely fantastic!

WoW!

Well, it's always said in tenkara circles that if you want a really GOOD rod, you have to pay at least a couple of hundred dollars for a Japanese product, and I've found that to be pretty much true--until I pulled this rod out of its packing and case and flipped it around a few times...I couldn't believe it! this is a short rod with just the right amount of backbone, but nevertheless quite flexible for excellent casting. It is so close to a $300.00 rod I bought a while ago that I can hardly tell them apart--except that, if anything, the Wild Water Shorty cast slightly better. My eyes and arm almost refused to believe it! I'm a small mountain stream 3" brookie sort of guy, and you will know that in the Appalachian mountains headwaters streams that mean lots of brush. You're not going to use a 10 or 12 foot rod here. And at its shortest length, the Shorty really isn't as long as its advertised length. It's really 6' 9" instead of 7', which is good. That missing 3 inches can actually help. I can't wait to get this rod out on a stream in May! And I will be spreading the word everywhere. You don't have to pay $300.00 for a great short rod! Get the Shorty kit for $112.00 and you will be thrilled!
