· Rod/reel combos – For those new to fishing that aren’t quite sure where to start, Sport Chalet also offers rod and reel combos in fresh water and fly fishing that takes out the guess work in choosing equipment. Combos come complete with the all of the necessary gear to ensure the perfect balance when casting out a line.
· UV protection – Fishing is historically for those with patience, but fishing for hours in the sun can take its toll on anyone. Proper headwear provides an escape from the sun, which will allow for a day full of fishing without the risk of sunburn.
· The perfect knot – Having the perfect equipment means nothing if you’re unable to tie the correct fishing knot for your line. Sport Chalet offers free fishing and fly knot tying instructions so every angler – new and old – is ready to take on that big fish.
