Cabelas Cahill Fly Fishing Outfit

November 3, 2014 by Salmon River Newbie 2 Comments

cabelas-cahill-fly-comboAs you can see from this site I am obsessed fishing for salmon and steelhead on the Salmon River.  I may be a newbie and not the best fisherman but my enthusiasm is overflowing and contagious.  Every time I talk about fishing on the Salmon River I speak of it as a new found religion.  Because of this lots of my friends and acquaintances want to go fishing with me.  Unfortunately, they know less than I do and none of them have equipment.  I looked around for a decent fly fishing outfit and I found the Cabelas Cahill Fly Fishing Outfit in 9Ft 8wt 4 piece and a matching fly reel with backing, fly line and tapered leader.

The Cabelas Cahill Fly Fishing Outfit costs $59.00 and on sale I was able to purchase it for $39.00.  It had decent reviews and for a fly fishing combo for my friends it was the perfect price.  Knowing that your first time out you could do damage to your equipment I just thought it would be great because at $39.00 if it broke or got lost it would not be able a big deal.

I have used the rod and reel and I really like the way it casts – it makes nicer loops then the Okuma fly rod I currently use.  The only thing I have done is added a loop to the fly line and added a new leader.  For $39.00 or $59.00 I really think its a good deal.

charlie-estrella-first-salmonMy friends who don’t know better think its a really expensive outfit.  But more than what its worth at the end of the day its all about whether you can catch fish with and this combo can catch fish.
