is it a weight forward fly line and how long is the fly line??

No, the line that comes with it is not weight forward or double tapered. It is balanced line. I planned on it being so and had some weight forward line on hand for when it arrived, which I suggest. I also suggest having another reel on hand too, as the one that comes with this set isn't all that great, but it will hold line.

Yes, this is a weight-forward, floating line. It's a 90 foot line, so use plenty of backing just in case you get a fighting lunker!

I haven't even put line on mine yet (it did not come pre-spooled) but at the base of the rod it says " 8' 6" Downrigger Med Heavy Line Wt. 8-20 lbs."The reel lists the following capacities " 18/460 20/355 25/275 " . Like I say I haven't used it but it seems like a quality combo. I especially like the depth counter on the reel which I wasn't expecting.

I didn't receive the exact product so I cant really respond on this. Sorry. However I did some research and came up with this. The STRIKE drag at approximately one-third of the line test. For example, if youare using 20 lb. test, the strike drag should be no more than 7 lbs. Using 30 lb.test, it should be no more than 10 lbs.hope this information helps.

My reel came with line and seems to come off fine. I use it for bowfishing....only downside it its weight.

Nothing but I ordered another extra spool so I could easily switch to a higher or lower pound line. But that is from another site was like $20. But I have landed 5-7 pound salmon with 8lb line on this reel no problem.

As far as I can tell, it looks like the same set. 5/6 w rod, 6 wf line, concept 2 reel and same books. maybe the fly's are different.

I don't know the exact length or what it should be, but it's plenty Long enough. It's they only fly line I'll buy. If It ain't broken don't fix it.

Hi James, the included line is 20lbs x 130ft on a flat handle. If you are looking for something heavier and longer, please search up above for Kite Line. You will find multiple styles and options. Thanks,In the Breeze, LLC

The case is 32" in length. This fly rod is for a 9' 4 piece rod, where as the smaller 3/4 package has a 7' 4 piece fly rod (the details in this listing have been corrected).

The rod is over 8 feet. The reel holds about 500 yards of 20 lb. test line. It believe it's a ML. I use it to catch jacks or blue runners off the island of New Providence in the Bahamas. Nothing over 6 lbs. The reel has gone somewhat rusty but it still works.

I am using monofilament 50 lb line and is working very well. You can go with less powerful line if you're fishing for smaller fishes.

This is a light/light medium fly rod. I use mine to practice my fly casting technique when fishing off docks or tight spaces with foliage. It is a great low cost introductory rod to learn the art of fly-casting.

Yes the picture in incorrect. I just received the fly rod and it is a good value. The rod has a nice action and it is well made at a great price.

I bought a 100' roll which made 4 lines between my poles. This is the best clothesline line I've ever used because it's really heavy compared to other line I've used. I highly recommend it.

Yes, but it is kind of small. So i got a larger fly from the hennessy website. And now i can use one or the other depending on climate.

It does not come with line loaded on it. I've found 25lb. and lighter line to work the best for shore fishing and casting. The heaviest recommended is 30lb. Length of line depends on thickness.
