    Outfishers Fly Rod and Reel Condition Rating Guide

    Our team inspects every piece of fly-fishing equipment that comes our way and rates each one of the 10 scored components on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the best. The overall rating is the sum of all those components, anywhere from 0 to 100 theoretically. Keep in mind, Outfishers doesn’t sell equipment rated less than 70. We then try to capture the imperfections in the photos so you can see the condition for yourself.
