Strip away all the snobbery and excess gear in today"s fishing market, and get back to fishing the way it was meant to be. Tie a standard tapered leader on to the tip, add a fly (or even a hook and worm) and start catching fish in your favorite stream or pond. The tenkara style SimpliFly telescopes out for reaching to that swirling back eddy, or compacts down for casting under the brush. Because it weighs under 3 ounces and packs in its own handle even the most weight conscious backpacker can feel confident taking the Simplifly into the backcountry.
