Close your eyes. Drift off to a place where the water flows freely, a warm sun graces your face, and the birds play a tune. The mouth of a feeding trout is the only thing breaking the water's calm surface. Your fly rod is in hand, your fly in motion—this is iconic trout fishing at its finest. Now open.
At the riverbank of a trout stream is The Original Kit—the tie between old skool and new skool that serves as the tool to make all your fly fishing dreams come true. It's fully equipped with an easy-to-cast, medium-fast action blank, but its looks pay homage to fly fishing heritage. The ideal rig for any angler jonesing for a new adventure or a grab-and-go kit for everyday fishing enjoyment—The Original Kit is classically built for timeless fly fishing moments.
Available in two sizes: Freshwater 5wt (Trout) and All Water 8wt (Bass, Salmon, and Inshore), the Original Kit comes complete with the durable Crosswater reel, sturdy dacron backing, RIO Mainstream fly line, and RIO tapered leader. These 4-piece rods offer flexibility for the angler on the go. While complete outfits add to the ease of delivering everything you need, add your fly of choice and allow the Original kit to be your trusted ally as you seek new experiences and hone your fly fishing skills.
