Extremely happy that Perfect Hatch offers replacement sections for their rods. Broke the tip off my Opener and this saved me from buying a whole new rod. Great price, quick shipping. Thank you.
Absolutely love my new Veteran fly rod. Casting is smooth, well balanced in my hand, and makes everything feel effortless. The build quality seems top-notch, and it just feels great overall. One of those upgrades you notice immediately—couldn’t be happier with it.
Caught many trout on this pattern last spring here’s a favorite pic
This product fell into my lap and has performed well for me. I use this on nymphs down to size 14 hook. In particular the brown results in a good iso imitation with a tad bit of flash but not too much. Durable and a quicker, more uniform tie than ice dub. The tinsel is spun close to the core.
Great product! The best dubbing for nymphs, easy to spin on thread without wax, ‘guard hairs’ without the real thing.
Have never fly fished before, but the quality of the rod is incredible compared to almost any option I’ve seen on the market. For most sub $300-$400 combos I’ve seen, they come with cheap plastic reels and rods, but after weeks of research, I stumbled upon Perfect Hatch. Although skeptical at first, with the few reviews I could find, I found myself amazed with the quality of the gear. I went with the 9ft 5wt and it came on time and in perfect condition. Casted very well, although I’m still learning. For other beginners like me, or anyone looking for a high quality set up with an unbeatable price, I’d absolutely recommend Perfect Hatch.
Excellent fast delivery, amazing rod protection /packaging and astonishing look & performance as well! Proudly supporting my local PA business! Had a great pleasure to fish - to try this new set up for several days now// at different locations - mostly using this Steelehead Combo! I'm absolutely pleased with it's performance and easiness of fly fishing & casting! Had a blast using this new rods! Great set-up! Numerous hook-ups, interesting fights with fishes, lots if adrenaline, and numerous landings of beautiful steelheads, atlantic salmons, cohos and big browns! Highly recommend this Steelhead Combo for beginners and experienced anglers as well! Thank You Perfect Hatch for everything what you do! For sure - I will be buying more fishing gear!!! Tight Lines 🎣!!!
I have used the Perfect Hatch Poppin frog all summer
for smallmouth fishing. Most successful bass fly I own.
Bass love the poppin frog!
Purchased at Dicks sporting goods, for the price, received everything to get started fly tying. Did the first two examples, and turned out OK. Plus, website has most everything you would need depending on interest of fly tying.
Perfect hatch fly boxes are made for any occasion. I love the medium and large sizes. They fit more than enough flies and are secure and even waterproof for half the price than the big names fly boxes. The foam holds the flies from size 20 to size 2 with ease. This is my 4th purchase of these fly boxes and after filling this one I’ll buy another!
The shape and extra flash of the cone head is perfect for big trout and smallmouth streamers
Trying to catch some bass with these, but these panfish love them more!
Strung Marabou really comes to life in the water. The jigs I tie are used in the Susquehanna River for smallmouth and musky and they hold up well against those toothy creatures.
This is my version of the Baby Rainbow tied with all Buck Tail. After 50 years of tying I found this Buck Tail the best.
Everything I use is great to work with new vise new ceramic spool heavy thread head cement cones and beads marabou hackle chenille and bucktail it’s easy to order and delivery is fast
This rod and reel combo is amazing. Super smooth and easy to cast! The reel is set up a little different than what I am used to, but I’m getting the hang of it. I’ll definitely be recommending this to my fly fishing friends!
Was looking for a beginner's rod and found this kit. Saved myself the hassle of buying different things. Great way to practice casting. Will give it to my son once I learned how to cast and will upgrade!
With low water levels and warmer than expected temperatures this morning, the fish where not moving.
I worked a quiet section of stream for about an hour until I found a shaded hole with just a hint of dappled sunlight.
I had started the morning with a fly from your Grab n Go Assortment, with not much luck. As I approached that shaded hole a fish broke the surface.
I decided to switch up and grabbed a fly from your Dry Fly Assortment. First cast and I got a bite! In my excitement I tried to set the hook to quickly and missed him. A few more casts and this 9" Brook Trout was in my net!!!
The Dry Fly saved the day!
I was very surprised at the quality of the combo once I started using it.
The carry tube is sturdy but compact. It's small enough to fit under the back seat of Silverado. Is light enough to take on a long hike to find that perfect fishing spot.
The Opener is always in my truck!
The natural cork handle is comfortable in my hand. The 4 piece rod assembled quickly and feels stout.
I would recommend this combo to beginners and veteran fishermen of all ages.
I caught a couple of nice Brown Trout this past weekend (in Benton, PA) on this rod using a Perfect Hatch Dry Fly Nymph.
I'm looking forward to trying more your accessories!
Great Quality! These crystal buggers catch fish!
The strung marabou is outstanding for my need easy to work wih
I ordered the 5/6wt and it is the perfect do it all size. I’ve already caught a few bluegill on the line that was included. I love that I was able to open the box and tie on a fly and get to the river. The rod handles very nicely and the reel feels very durable. I also really liked the included rod tube. This rod replaced the old fly rod that my Grandad passed down to me 20 years ago. I was very happy to find that this rod outperformed my old rod.
Really loved this rod/reel combo. The shipping was speedy and the rod tube is extremely functional. The rod is very durable and the reel is super smooth. It came pre-spooled which is nice since I don’t have a lot of experience. This rod and reel have been very forgiving for this new fly fisherman.
It has a very sturdy case and the zippers are quality!
The pole is made of high quality material and it shows! It is nice and lightweight and glides through the air like it should.
The real is nice and smooth for reeling in the big one. You will never go wrong with this setup. The price point in my opinion is to low. The quality this setup brings should be priced above $200. At this price they are giving them away.
