Albright is generally value-priced product to start with, but when you take 40% to 80% of the retails, you can get some of this stuff cheap.
I own a three Albright products. Two I really like; a 5-wt GP fly rod & a 3/4-wt click & pawl reel (I don't believe they make the reel anymore). The Bugatti reel (which is also no longer made), I don't particularly care for as I've been spoiled by a Lamson Konic.
I will attest that they are pretty good performing products for their price points. There's actually a few GP rods left for only $44.99! No, that's not a typo. They might not replace your Sage, Orvis, or whatever...but as a backup, travel option, or a way to outfit someone just starting out, they are worth checking out.
DISCLAIMER:
Other than being a consumer, I have no business relationship with Albright Fly Fishing. That said Albright folks, if you're out there reading this, and want to send one of those new 3-wt A5s my way, I'm not going to complain...
45.00 for a fly rod. Hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteYour right on about the back up, I always carry one.
That sounds like a good place to go.
