ting in my hands from the moment I started using it. It eventually got deep ruts where the cork would dig into my hands and gave me blisters. I would be quite literally fishing through my hand’s bleeding. I’ve since picked up a nicer rod and do not have this issue.
I was also told by a local fly shop that this line is intentionally overweighted (more like 10wt line) on this setup in order to assist the learning curve of a new fly angler. Maybe that actually helped me learn more quickly? All I know is that I caught plenty of fish with it and I was pretty happy with my casting while using it.
I like the behemoth reel and it will absolutely stay in rotation, should I need to have a second reel available while on a trip. (i.e. to have a sinking setup ready). The behemoth is also very easy to purchase spare spools only, so if you choose to upgrade from this package to a nicer rod, you can keep the reel and buy a spare spool to have options line-wise.
All-in-all, I would recommend this kit. You can buy grip covers if you have the same cork issue I had. If you absolutely know you will be upgrading shortly after purchase, then I would recommend one of their cheaper kits. I also have the vice kit, which has been fantastic!
