Blue Water Fly Fishing: Complete Rod+Reel+Line Combo Outfit

Blue Water Fly Fishing Outfit. We had a customer recently who wanted a recommendation for a 12 wt. fly rod to take on your next expedition to warmer climes. What will you fish for, we asked. “A little of everything,” he replied. “Dorado. Tuna. Small sailfish. Who knows?”

Well, we just happened to have a perfect tackle match-up to recommend for this sort of adventure. The Echo 2, 12 wt. fly rod matched with a Ross CLA 7 fly reel is the clear heads-up option for this combo that includes a 12 wt, deep-ocean fly fishing environment. If you are headed offshore to pursue big fish, from the tropics to the arctic, this rod and reel combo will deliver. Tuna will make your arms shake, but the rod will do you good. Big sharks will chomp at the stern of your boat, but this rod will not back down from the challenge. The Echo 2 has two tips, so you can choose a tip for either distance or accuracy, Tim Rajeff tells us, or simply provide the peace of mind knowing you have a spare in case your skipper steps on one tip.

Just as the Echo 2 was a clear-cut choice for our rod in this outfit, the Ross CLA 7 was an easy pick for a reel to compete this Blue Water fly fishing outfit. We chose the Ross CLA for its value, quality, and line-capacity.

Blue water fly fishing is geared towards strong, incredibly fast running fish that will test you and your tackle’s stamina. Fly lines include two options: a) an intermediate slow sinking line for near surface presentations, and b) a fast sinking fly line – designed for either tropical or cold water conditions. If you have questions regarding the most appropriate fly line for your individual destination, let us know and we will be happy to help you decide. These fly lines are constructed with a stouter core to stand up to the strain of heavy fish and heavier leader tippets. At your request, you may add spare spools loaded with lines at a modest additional cost. We have deliberately provided line options to suit tropical and cold-water conditions, so this outfit is adaptable in oceans worldwide.
