1. When will my order arrive?

Once the order is collected it generally takes between 3-5 working days.

2. How do I track my order?

A tracking number will be emailed to you once the order is collected.

3. How do I know which rod is right for me?

Rod length & weight is suited for the type of species you are targeting. We have a dedicated species page which will take you to all the correct gear for that particular specie. Should you still require additional help you can call us on (033)266 6981 & one of our pro staff can point you in the right direction.

4. How do I match a reel to a rod?

Each reel is made to match a certain rod weight i.e. 5/6 weight reel will match a 5wt or 6wt rod.

5. How do I read rod weight/length?

Reading the rod weight & length can differ from brand to brand. Generally rods read as follows: 905-4 (9 foot 0 inches, 5 weight – 4 piece). All rod details have been marked this way on our store.

6. Where do I find my order info?

By clicking on “My Account” you will be directed to a dashboard that has all your recent orders. You can also manage your shipping & billing addresses there.

7. How do I know which line to use?

Lines are weighted to suit the rod weight. If you purchase a 5wt rod you will need to purchase a 5wt line.

Fly Line Density – The Density of a Fly Line is whether the fly line floats, sinks, or partially sinks.

Fly Line Taper – Fly Line Taper refers to changes made to the fly line itself that allow for better casting. The most popular, and most versatile, is the Weight-Forward Taper. This will be listed as WF

Fly Line Weight – Fly line weight is the weight of the fly line, measured in grains, and helpfully given a number from 1-14 by the fly line manufacturers. To choose the right fly line weight, first figure out what you will be fishing for. Then, make sure that whatever fly line weight you choose matches – exactly – the fly rod weight and the fly reel weight that you plan to use.

Fly Line Color – The color of the fly line, if topwater fishing, is of no consequence. The fish can see the shadow of any fly line during daylight hours. Thus, get a fly line that is easy for you to see, with orange, yellow and red probably being the most popular colors. For submerged fishing, generally you want to choose a darker color, with various shades of brown/black being the most popular and effective.

Trout Fishing & Fly Line – For trout fishing, a floating fly line is by far the most popular and versatile. If you are fishing submerged nymphs, just put tiny weights on the leader. By and large, most trout fishing is done with a floating fly line.
Understanding Fly Line Codes – The codes on a box of fly line can be a bit daunting. Here’s an example of a typical fly line code : WF-4-F. What this means is that the fly line has a Weight Forward Taper, a Fly Line Weight of 4, and Floats. Thus, to understand fly line codes, the first series of letters/numbers first is the taper, the second series of letters/numbers refers to the fly line weight, and the third series of letters/numbers refers to the density of the fly line (whether it sinks or floats).

8. How do I tell the difference between lines. i.e. Float/Int/Sink?

At the end of the fly line code i.e. WF5s3 the s3 is sinking at a rate of 3 inches per second. Wf5i is an intermediate which generally sinks at 1.5 inches per second. Wf5F is floating.

9. What do I need to start Fly Fishing?

Well, this is a bit of a loaded question! But simply a rod, reel, fly line, tapered leader, tippet & flies is really all you need. You might also want to invest in a pair of nippers (for cutting line), Forceps (for getting flies out of hard to reach places) & a net.

10. If I order a line & reel will it come spooled?

We will gladly spool fly line to the reel free of charge. Just don’t forget to buy the backing.

11. Do the lines have loops on the end?

Floating lines come with welded loops. Intermediate & Sinking lines genereally don’t & loops will have to be purchased. We will gladly fit these for you free of charge.
