Presentation 8'6" #5 (6-Piece)

Traveller Set 9'0"  #6  (6-Piece)

For the first time the Gem Smuggler is available as a 'Compleat Angler' set. Choose between the Presentation Set, which makes a stunning gift and the Traveller Set, thoughtfully designed to withstand the worst knocks and bumps of long distance travel.

The Presentation Set has a magnificent tailor-made leather and Wundercloth® carrying case, handcrafted in Italy containing the Gem Smuggler fly rod, Ultralite Disc Large Arbor fly reel with neoprene pouch, leather fly wallet and two lines with backing - a Distance Trout floating line loaded on the reel, and an Intermediate fly line on a spare spool with a cloth drawstring pouch.

The Traveller Set comes in a robust aluminium flight case with removable foam inserts so that you can reshape the layout around your essential angling accessories. The contents are the same as the Presentation Set, with an aluminium fly box instead of a leather fly wallet and the addition of bottles of Hardy Floatant, Sinkant and Reel Oil. For saltwater enthusiasts there is also a saltwater Traveller Set featuring the 9' #8 Saltwater rod with corrosion-proof fittings, MLA 375 reel and a spare spool, loaded respectively with a Hardy Saltwater floating line and Clear sink tip line.

A cordura covered rod tube is supplied with both sets.
