Primal Revel/Acid Outfit Single Handed Fly Rod
The so-called Revel/Acid Outfit offers an outstanding value for money. It consists of a modern Primal fly rod and a matching FlyLab reel at a very competitive set price. In addition, it also includes a versatile all-round fly line and backing. It allows beginners a successful entry into the world of fly fishing, and also more experienced fly fishermen will appreciate the great performance of this combo.
The Primal Revel Single Handed Fly Rod has a lightweight high modulus carbon blank that features the modern UHC, LMS and LNR technologies. Thus, it has a fast action with a fast recovery and powerful casting properties. In addition, the blank of this rod has a matt olive finish for a stealthy appearance along the river. Further, its reliable aluminium reel seat with a modern design will hold the reel securely in place. And its ergonomically shaped full-wells handle made of high-quality cork provides this rod with a very pleasant feel. Last but not least, your line will glide through the high-quality guides with hardly any resistance, which allows good casting distances. Therefore, it is a very versatile rod for targeting species such as trout and grayling in different types of water – whether a tiny creek or a larger stream.
The stylish design of the FlyLab Acid Fly Reel is based on a sturdy frame construction made of machine finished die cast aluminium, which makes this reel light and durable. It is equipped with a sealed and powerful drag system. This drag offers a very smooth performance due to the stacked stainless and ceramic discs. In fact, it is very strong which enables you to control powerful predators. In addition, it has a large arbor design, which allows a fast line retrieve for winning the most spectacular fight. Further, its large diameter minimizes line memory, which increases the durability of your fly line.
Further, this set also includes a matching fly line from FlyLab. The Velocity WF is a versatile floating line with a relatively short 10,5 m head. Thus, it is very easy to cast and it will always allow a successful presentation – whether with dry fly, nymph or streamer. Last but not least, this set also includes a generous amount of backing. Therefore, you will always be ready for hooking the fish of a lifetime.
In short: The Revel/Acid Outfit offers a surprisingly great performance that no one would have expected at this low price. It consists of perfectly matching components. Therefore, it will allow both beginners and experienced fly fishermen to fish for species such as trout and grayling in a very successful way. By the way, it’s hardly surprising that Primal describes the Revel with the following words: a rod that should cost more. But luckily, it doesn’t. And of course, this applies for the entire set!
