Performed admirably on a recent fly fishing excursion. Struggled with landing the trophy trout but that could also be user error.

I ordered this before I looked into other options and I found something better for less. Orvis is a great brand so I’m sure it was great quality, just didn’t even open the package.

I picked this combo up for a recent trip to Florida, I'd never fly fished in the ocean before, and figured my 5wt was too small, the this setup in an 8wt worked well, the reel is plastic a feels a little cheap, the cap kept popping off of the top of the case, but overall I think it was a good value. I'll probably upgrade to some high end Scientific Angler fly line and will keep my eyes open for a higher quality reel, however I would buy this combo again. Get your flies from a local shop, not online!

I ordered Rio fly line to go with this rig. I had to order the line from a different vendor. The outfit arrived a week early before my line did. The standard line that comes with the outfit casts streamers with ease. I fish for large mouth bass and I was able to throw #2 and #6 bass and steamer flies. I was initially concerned about the fly line but after casting for 3 hours I can't tell you the difference between this and SA GPX. I was able to shoot long distances in the wind and turn over large flies. That's all we want right? I lost my TFO 8wt so this was my replacement. Comparing the two rods the quality is good. Its not like my TFO but I can't find anything bad to say. Its lite and is a fast action rod. The only I miss from my TFO is that this rod is missing the aligngment dots on the sections. The reel is plastic but its light and does the job. If you are expecting a 200$ quality reel you will be disappointed. No complaints, the reel hold my line well! Perfect starter rod and replacement for the weekend warrior. Out of the box you can fish.

Nice combo
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2026 by Timothy Bureau
This has proven to be a great entry level fly setup. I wasn't sure I'd get hooked on fly fishing I didn't want to spend a great deal of money, so after some research it appeared this outfit was the way to go over the basspro/cabelas outfits. This outfit has now been on a week long camping trip sitting in the bottom of a muddy canoe when it was not being used, as well as 20+ single day outings. I've caught a good deal of freshwater fish with it in both FL and the TX Hill Country and couldn't be happier. The reel is plastic, but still operates perfectly even after being completely submerged multiple times every time it's been out. The guides are still in good shape as well as the rod and cork. I've put some serious strain on the rod mostly trying to get my fly dislodged from rocks/brush, but also on some larger bass and freshwater drum and I'm confident in its durability at this point. I have been bit by the fly fishing bug and my next purchase will be a high quality 8wt setup for inshore fishing and eventually a higher quality 4 or 5wt setup with a shorter rod for tighter creeks and I'm sure I will notice slight improvements in all aspects over the Encounter, with that being said the Encounter will always have a spot in my arsenal and if you're looking to get into fly fishing I highly recommend it.

This fly setup is amazing for beginner’s, it is really durable, the case is very well made. The reel itself is plastic which I did not know, I was expecting aluminum but nonetheless it is still a really good reel. Sometimes the rod will come apart when using it, I am also not the best at fly fishing so maybe it is my fault and I am just too aggressive with it, but overall it is a really good setup and I would highly suggest to anyone looking into it. Orvis is a phenomenal brand.
