Hi all,
I am wanting to buy an Odyssey salmon rod, as well as reel, backing, line, tapered leader etc. Basically, my first salmon kit.
Any idea of any companies that do the 'complete package'? They are proving hard to ind.
I'm not in England at the momnt, so can't refer to the back of T&S or such-like, so recommendations gratefully received.
Thanks
nb

I can't comment on the Odessy rod etc. but I shop at Sportfish, Harris Sportsmail, Glasgow Angling Centre, and Fawcetts. They are all pretty good with occasional hiccups.
I got the impression that you were looking to buy a ready-made salmon fishing kit - if that's right, I'd avoid it. Better to pick the parts separately.
Good luck

Thanks all - I tried Frank, but he was having probs with reels that didn't fit the rods he had, so opted for 'reelsanddeals' as kercock suggested. they had an offer on the reel i wanted too.
can't wait to try the thing!!!
