abelas genesis

Ok I scored a 4 piece Cabelas Genesis the other day to use at my home away from home. It is a 5/6 wt. Anyone have any experience with this style of rod? First time with this brand.

I don't have that particular rod, but I do have two of Cabela's other pack rods. They are inexpensive and I haven't had any issues, but from others experience Cabelas is good at standing behind their warranty even on the cheap stuff I have. I use them for travel, hiking, and brush beating. They have worked great for everything I have used mine for. In fact the little 3 wt shorty I have is my favorite small stream rod.

If im not mistaken the Cabelas Genesis was marketed as Cabelas beginner starter fly fishing kit. It came a rod, reel, SA Line, vest, flies, nipers ect ect for around 150.00 175. ...

Its moderate-fast action rod with decent hardware From what I remember its got pretty good reviews. Light weight and great balance in the rod. I think kit came with a 2 year warranty on it but dont quote me on that.

[cool]I bought this as part of the kit when it went on sale last summer for $100. It is my first and only fly rod/reel, so I have nothing to compare it to. With that said, I think it is still a good rod. I used it at least twice a week for about 4 months on the Provo and at Tibble Fork. It was good enough to get me hooked on fly fishing.

I did break the tip fishing late last fall. I was trying to de-ice the guides and got lazy. [crazy](I bent it further than I should have.) I took it back to Cabela's and they gave me a new one. I think it has a year warranty, as with all most Cabela's branded items.

Went out and played with it today on the Colorado. I like how it feels and casts. Very nice rod indeed![cool]

It only matters if you like it, and it works for you. If it was inexpensive also --- then that just makes it 10 times better.

Sounds like you are all set for some after work exploring!

You got it!!! Picked up some maps today of the area and got some ideas of where to go. Next week I will bring the float tube down and get it wet as well.[]
