Cortland Guide Series Outfit Salwater Fly Rod

The Cortland Guide Series Saltwater Outfit brings a matched saltwater fly fishing setup together without the guesswork of choosing each component separately. Its lightweight, fast-action graphite rod pairs with a large-arbor aluminum reel, giving beginner and intermediate anglers a practical platform for coastal and flats fishing.

The 9-foot, 8-weight rod breaks down into four pieces for travel, while the reel comes loaded with 150 yards of backing and a Cortland-designed, two-colour floating fly line. A welded loop and attached tapered leader simplify rigging, and the included rod-and-reel case keeps the outfit organized between trips. From redfish and bonefish to striped bass, this saltwater fly fishing combo offers a versatile starting point for exploring inshore water.
