Built for the hardcore angler yet priced with frugality in mind, the Encounter 10′ 7-weight 4-piece fly rod outfit promises smooth, crisp performancepackaged with a large arbor Encounter reel, weight-forward floating line, backing, and leader. Instead of the term “entry level,” we prefer to describe our new Encounter rod outfits as “affordable awesomeness.” The 10-foot, 7-weight also includes two additional size IV spools with Intermediate and Full Sinking Type III fly lines, backing, and leaders.
