When I first started fishing with friends a long time ago, you were posh if you had a bamboo cane and that isn't a joke.
Starters today have never had it so good, which is no bad thing.
A cheap and cheerful wee set up for someone who wants to try out fly fishing, two thumbs up from me, if it encourages more people to take up the fly then I'll be a happy man.
Keep up the good work!!!
That's exactly how we felt Chris, fly fishing needs more of this!
The 9.99 rubberised flip top landing nets were an absolute steal in Lidl also. Great for most of my lure fishing. I did spot the fly fishing kits and although I don’t really need one it’s good to see how you rated the set up.
there's bargains to be had in there right?!
Thanks for the review. Completely new to fly fishing, so bought this rod to give it a try. Good to see someone who knows what they’re doing catching so many fish. Has given me confidence in the kit
They had these in the middle aisle of my local Lidl for the last couple of weeks.
I've wanted to try fly fishing for a while but was always put off by the cost, if it wasn't for me I didn't want to spend a fortune!
For £30 I was convinced this was going to be garbage, but I was still curious about trying fly fishing. I Googled "Lidl fly fishing" and found this review, which was enough to convince me to go back and make my purchase.
Thanks for the content, you have a new subscriber and I have my first fly fishing setup!
Little late on reply.. but that's awesome man... Hope you are still at it! 🎣🔥
Thank you for the tuition yesterday Andy, fantastic time with a fantastic teacher. Lidl outfit...for the money you've got to give it a go. Thanks for the vlog, great work, lovin the glasses ib 😊
I was lucky two months ago to be given the opportunity to go fly fishing for the very first time at the Cregennan Lakes in Snowdonia National Park. Since then I have been completely hooked. Fly fishing seemed to be an expensive hobby. Now after seeing your wonderful video on the amazing Aldi Paladin rod I can see that is simply not the case. Thank you for sharing!
Phil Rougier it’s as expensive as you want too make it mate there’s budget gear that’s more than upto the job
Amazing Phil! Keep at it and your fishing adventures will only be more and more exciting and awesome ❤
Totally agree with Medicated flowers, it's only as expensive as you want it to be. It's a shame that there's that perception though about fly fishing being an expensive sport, I had the same thoughts before I started.
I.B. xxx
I started tying in 1969. I started trying to cast I think earlier the same year.
I used my dad's ancient fly fishing outfit at first but since as a 12 year old I already knew everything so I never asked Dad. It took me years to get good at casting.
My first fly rod was a Daiwa 8' 7wt. I bought in 1970, I still have it.
I bought a big Daiwa reel for $11 I still have that. It was an ugly unbalanced outfit and I had no idea of fly line, you know matching line, rod and reel. I think I bought some cheap line made by Omni. The one thing about learning with a mongrel outfit that weighed about 5lbs, you can cast anything! LOL like literally any ugly combo.
These new outfits are hugely better than back in the day but it really helps to have visual casting and mending instruction.
I quite enjoyed this episode! Well done!!!
IB that was crazy!!! You were still casting beautifully and to hook up the same fish twice in a few minutes.
A PB on a field test! Doesn't get much better!!!!
I bought this outfit today caught ten chub at the river it’s a really great rod to cast as I usually use a Shakespeare agility which is really cheap but great rod just proves that you don’t need a hardy or a Orvis rod outfit to catch fish
Great Vid guys! I alway like a bargain and really don't care about designer names, It just go to show you don't need all the fancy kit to catch lovely trout! hope this rod goes to help get someone new into the sport!
Well done and keep up the great work :)
Thanks so much Brendan, super kind! we both agreed that the best outcome here would be that just one more person would have go at fly fishing, then it'll be worth it!
Your so much fun you guys, and always enjoy your blogs! Just shows you someone getting into fly fishing it doesn't have to cost you a fortune! Well done guys great personalitys!
super kind Paul, thanks so much! We can all definitely do more to get folks fly fishing, but the industry needs to have a good look at this too, hopefully somebody notices this!
Fun in the cheap seats, great fishing guys! A big brown and a grayling, on you go IB! And great advice Andy ref the lessons!
Thanks Mike, really glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍
First off thankyou IB and Andy, i found you're channel only a few weeks ago and you're advice and approach to making videos are exactly what I was looking for invaluable information from two lovely down to earth people. ❤
I was looking for a cheap way to test the waters with fly fishing and i think i may have just found my answer, hopefully I can find one in stock near me.
All the best
Leon
That's super Kind Leon, thanks so much! If you can't find one, maybe enter the giveaway!
That's what fly fishing is all about, fun. I enjoyed the video. Thanx
Thank you very much Gordon! X
Love the video folks again and great to see budget gear getting tested for the beginner.Great
Thank you for a great video. Just getting involved with fly fishing. I am an American veteran who just found Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. Founded to help disabled veterans heal through comradery and occupational therapy. Amazing that you are helping to promote a wonderfully fulfilling pastime. More, please.
Excellent video, and very honest and to the point, this would be a great kit for someone who was interested in having a go at fly fishing for the first time, but didn't want to spend too much, and for that reason, its a excellent kit, if they don't like fly fishing after trying, its hardly breaking the bank, and if someone buys the kit and has a good experience and enjoys the fishing and if they are able to cast with this, they will almost certainly be able to cast with a better quality set up, so a great kit for a introduction into fly fishing, and at the end of the day, the trout aren't able to tell whether its a Hardy Rod or a Lidl rod :-) thanks for a great review
We totally agree Richard, a great introduction to the sport for those who might have been put off my the cost of things - hopefully we can inspire one person to try!
What a bargain outfit. I started with an argos kingfisher outfit in the late 1990,'s and I used it for years. Hopefully that kit will get some young fishers into the sport. Great video as usual and ib the glasses look great 😊
+1 for the Argos Kingfisher! I used to know those four pages like the back of my hand! Thanks for the very kind workds, we really appreciate it!
Still got the rod and I'll probably pass it down eventually, but the reel died years ago lol
@@IBandAndyFishing house martin from woolworths in 70 80s i started with all good memorys
I bought this rod this year from Lidl. Found the instructions useful and it was a great price ( think it’s £10 more this year) the line still doesn’t fit and struggle to reel the line in. Used the flies that came with it and has taken a couple of trips out to catch but I did get a beautiful brown on it (think I.B’s is bigger but not far off hers). Never fly fished before this and find the casting a bit tricky but I’m happy I have caught on it and I’ll hopefully try again this weekend. Great video’s nice to see a couple sharing a hobby.
Hi guys. I fish with a handmedown from my father in law and have never had my own. I have never tried fly fishing on a river, mainly because down here in Hampshire it is stupidly priced. Loving the vids, keep it up.
There's a free stretch of the Itchen which is well worth a look, some lovely trout and grayling in there!
Many thanks for the kind words!
Wonderful fishing, congratulations this place is amazing has beautiful fish. 👍🎣🐟😊
Hugs and good fishing!
Thank you very much! Xxx
I wish I’d seen this video before shelling out for my Orvis Clearwater 5wt rod!
We get the irony about us talking about cheap fly fishing while fishing in what is considered an expensive water, but as you all know we had 10 days of rain in UK and that was the only river where it was fishable on father's day. The plan was either cheaper day ticket water or a free stretch, rain had different ideas!
I.B. xxx
Better to spend your money on tickets for great fishing water rather than on tackle!
I purchased that set up last week, not used it yet but chucked the line on the reel and gave the once over. Leaders were missing from my package but no big deal. I’m a big fan of snowbee line and I gotta say that this line feels similar. I was really expecting a crappy spring coiled line so very much surprised with the quality. if I was noob just starting out I’d be lost regarding putting the kit together but then again not many people start fishing without some experienced helpers. I only really got this kit to see if would be any good and I reckon you’d struggle find starter kit better. A lot of us spend more than this on a day ticket or heaven forbid a weekends worth of carp bait lol.
It's a great way of getting people to try out fly fishing isn't?! Hmm. Our kit had instructions step by step how to set everything up, did yours not come with it?
The line is really a decent line, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. If anything I regret not trying it out on one of my normal rods.. let us know how you get one when you take it out for a play! .
I.B. xxx
Great clip Andy. I've seen £700 rods with worse cork. Won't mention any brands... If this get's someone into fly fishing, it would be a good thing. We need people to maintain our rivers and lakes when we are all gone. The most important components in an outfit are the rod and line. A good line can transform a poor rod.
I totally agree with you get Ranger, these value kits are all about getting folks in to fly fishing, and getting it in to a big supermarket is so important- I wish we saw more of this!
Brilliant video seriously considering this purchase, couldn’t help but giggle at Andy dropping the ALDI bomb in there at 25 mins in lol. Great video guys keep up the good work 😊
Lidl, Aldi, I'm never sure which is which. I still tell folks I shop at the Lidl in Ashbourne. There isn't one and there never has been! Many thanks for the kind words!
I would like to catch chub with it!
Good work guys 😄
actually, since you mention it, I'd like to catch some chub with it too!
Great video - just shows you price of tackle, rod v fishing at the right place right time...
thanks very much! True words well spoken too!
I got this rod for a laugh. I put less of the backing on so the line loaded on the reel better.
I took it to my local carp lake just to try a few casts. I couldn’t agree more, it casts lovely, only downside is, the line is very light and people may have difficulty casting in the wind….. On the plus plus side. I caught a nice carp on the rod while I was just mucking about.
Fun video. First time I have come across your channel. Really enjoyed you showing newbie that affordable fishing gear works ok because fly fishing does have a lot of snobs in the sport which can be intimidating for new folks. One last thing, I got a kick out of how you mentioned many times that the bright yellow floating line isn't liked in your country but I can tell you that yellow is the most common line I see here in Canada.
Would make a great outfit for the kids over the summer holidays.
Just bought one, never tried fly fishing but at that price why not and your video has inspired me to give it a go, thank you. Still a very novice angler so need to practice casting first but will search your videos for instructions and then take some lessons. Thanks guys, subscribed and looking forward to more videos. 👍
I literally brought this rod from Lidl today! Iv been fishing since I was 13 now 24 and never fly fished once, Found you’re video and it has given me great confidence that I’ll be able to get something eventually after a few practice sessions. I’m glad to know iv not wasted my money as 29.99 is a lot of money to me. I can’t wait to give it a try tomorrow, but I’ll definitely take you’re advice and invest in some new flys!
Thanks so Much for all the info!
Great to hear! Please let us know how you get on!
Find a good casting video unless you have a friend who can help. So many people have flyrods in their closets because they have nobody to teach them.
Kerry Pitt yeah that’s the problem iv had, no one I know apart from my grandad (who’s sadly passed now) does fly fishing so iv only used it a handful of times which is a shame as I really would like to get into it properly!
Great video, since watching it a couple of month ago, I have been waiting for them to come back in stock, 10/6/21 back in and bought one on the strength of your video and delighted with it. Been fishing since 1962 so with the rods I have used over the years I think I will be able to cope with the thicker section and action, being bought up on tank ariel, split cane and early fiberglass.😉. I will be taking it in our campervan and not have to worry too much about it. Thanks for the video
Nice video guys! You both look pretty flawless when casting with that rod actually. Lovely loops being thrown. Makes me want to buy my partner one! Haha
Aw babe!! You gotta lift the dorsle of that grayling for us 😅 x
Hey Laura! I think that's the thing, if you can cast\fish.. you can cast\fish with any rod. Of course it's nice to have top end kit, but if you can't afford one, this is a very good option 😍. At the end of the day it's you who has to make the cast not the £900 rod.
Thanks for a great feedback & tight lines!
I.B. xxxx
they came back into the shops last week and i bought one! wanted to fly fish for along time but didnt have the budget for it, this video makes me feel much better about my purchase :) now i need to find out how to cast properly without taking my eye out, wrapping myself in line AND not spooking the fish.
really enjoyed your vids . I first fished in the 70's but never had any guidance. Then again in the 90's on the Irish Bann river Moyola. Now back home in Wales I joined the Bala / Dee club and am well keen to get going. Particularly keen on the Grayling aspect but don't ask me why . Thanks for the entertainment both . Dai Roberts
Always wanted to try flying fishing
My first fly fishing set was a Ron Thompson all in one box for about the same price. It was like fishing with a poker and a slinky. I kept it for a while but slowly worked my way up to my current rigs, probably worth about £500 each, but one of my faves is a little 7ft 3wt from Fladen I got on Amazon, paired up with a cheap chinese Maxicatch reel and line. The whole lot cost me about £35 and its brilliant fun to catch with. I would recommend that anybody getting into fly fishing get that, or similar, instead of the Aldi set. it might feel ok, but i doubt it has any real longevity and it's limitations will frustrate the novice in the way that my first rod did.
Great video guys. Do you think u could do a video breaking down the basics of fly fishing for beginners
What would you like in there Logan?
I don't really know to be honest maybe the tackle and tactics needed to catch them off the top I really don't know much about fly fishing but it's nothing is be looking to get in to
id love that for my son to get him started
Hi Ieva and Andy , nice video , I didn't start fly fishing as I thought that it's hard to learn to cast and that the cost of gear is a bit to high to get started , you need waders you need , rod, flies and was afraid to spend money and then fail to learn how to do it. Your glasses Ieva nice by the way . Tight lines .
If it was that hard then I wouldn't be able to do it Ted!!! You can pick these things up really cheaply if you shop around, then it's just about getting some practise in, or even better having some time with an instructor, it's a worthy investment!
Not that I suspect you'll ever see this, to say nothing of the fact you've figured it out but that feeling your describing about "heavy, clumsy but delicate and casts itself" is why some people prefer older fiberglass rods and even a bit of the feeling in a bamboo fly rod. Its the weight in the rod that helps it load and cast. You're just not used to it because you've been using too fast graphite sticks from go and never used one before.
Hi bud, we do read all the comments, so thank you for this one!
I learned with glass and cane, I didn't cast carbon for the first ten years I fly fished. 👍
Top video as always, the weather has been truly horrific just recently! Glad you both managed to find time to get on the bank - I've only managed two hours on the canal recently, it wasn't the best day I've had but still managed to put a few fish on the bank even if I did get a little bit wet. Hope the weather turns soon!
horrendous isn't it, I got lucky during the mayfly season but since then it's been vile! Glad you've been catching a few, how about the lads?
They’re doing ok, Young Tom has been swamped with uni revision and exams recently but we did manage a couple of days carp fishing, he caught a new PB only by a few oz but still not a bad start to the year.
Big Tom has hardly had time to fish at all! I know he’s dying to get on the bank but work keeps getting in the way!
I love these rods for the price!! I will most likely be buying more of them! Great for catfishing and surf fishing!
my dad just got me one of these fly kits from lidl it was reduced from £29.99 to £15 so had to get it to try and compare against my other fly rods. loving the videos keep up the great content Adrian in somerset
Hi Adrian, we hope the rod catches you many fish! The fly line especially was very impressive considering the price
Started on this rod just upgraded too Grey's k4st combo could you do a review on that?
AWESOME Video! I hate double tappered line and yeah, those flies looked like they bought them from the cub scout troop fly tying night.. Love your content!! Keep a tight line and thank you for another really great video. edit note: IB love the glasses!!
Hahaha 😎😎😎 thank you! I love to be able to see the fish takes and the flies on the water hahhaa! Thanks for the love ❤❤❤
i think you should have tried one of the flies that came with the set. if you would have gotten a fish that would have been great to show that these flies can be used to some extend to try it out and get other flies over time. maybe give some hints to how to judge which fly to choose.
Wow great video.... it is so nice to see that there is a cheap way for me to get into fly fishing... I just got into lure fishing and am loving how active it is and how you get such a strong connection with the fish.. I hope fly fishing will be the same anyway keep up the great work and in live your videos
Thanks Archie! You'll LOVE fly fishing! It's so direct and so active, I really don't think there's a more engaging way of fishing. And if an idiot like me can do it then it can't be that hard!
A great idea for me and my son to try one day. Great vid guys.
Definitely try it, share with us how it goes 😍🙏
Was gonna buy one of wish to get started know we're to go now
Like that DT line, good stuff
Yes I'm old
I went into Lidl for some croissants last weekend....came out with this fly outfit (plus quite a decent spinning reel for £13). I'm pretty new to fly fishing - done it a few times but I'm essentially a novice. A useful tip for any left-handers out there, like me: the reel is set up for right-handed fishermen/women i.e. the drag is on the retrieve if, like me, you crank the reel with your right hand while holding the rod in your left. Not a problem though: simply take the spool off and if you look carefully you'll see a little neoprene grommet holding the centre ratchet onto the base of the spindle. Carefully tease that off (I used a very blunt knife), remove the ratchet and jut flip it over and replace it (don't forget the grommet). Next week I'm going out with a friend, who's more experienced, on one of the rivers here in Devon. Can't wait!
Update (only a year later...) After my comment (above) I spent a morning on the River Bray with my friend; he completely blanked - but I caught two brown trout with my LIdl set-up! Looking forward now to the start of this year's season.
Your glasses look great! Nice brownie!!
Nice1 guys , spot on for beginners, keep them coming guys an nice fish I.B 🧜♀️🧜♀️
thanks very, very kind!
This fly fishing set is cheper then most fly fishing dayly licences in my country. It is on salle again and i never fly fished before so i will get it a shot. Great video.
Great video guys & galls. I Started fly fishing this year and i am hooked. And yes i now have three different rods so do not include me in the draw. keep up the great work. Bob.
great stuff Bob, really glad you're enjoying your fly fishing!
great review, hope someone who deserves it wins it, very nice gesture, keep up the good work
Just bought one last week! Good comfort knowing its my technique that got me the blank the one day I've had to take it out (I'm still gonna blame the high sun though 🤣) on another note, the line I ended up with seems to be a mislabelled wf line rather than double taper, the end with the little label was on the fattest part of the line
Good week guys. Ieva the star as usual! 🌟
Thanks Alex 🤓❤ xxx
Nice matte finish to the rod!
eagle eyed Mr Ward, I really ought to have mentioned that!
Great review!! With the line not fitting the reel would it fix the issue to use less backing? Asking as I've just picked one up. Thanks
Wicked videos, justngoes to show ya that buget tackle isnt always old tut, weldone guys! love your cheapo tackle videos...
Fibreglass rods are heavy and do cast different to carbon/boron but are perfectly good rods. I still use one from the 70s
In a year this has gone up by £9 price is now £29.99 still a good deal. Really nice video excellent advice, still no braded loops so I brought some Boyes for £2 still excellent value!
Yessss!!! You guys are back have missed the videos!!! Love them
Thanks Jack! Have you been catching a few?
@@IBandAndyFishing weather has been terrible over here atm raining every day banks and river is flooded too high for fly so went out spinning last week caught a massive trout great fight! Pitty I can't add a photo to show you it.
This came up on my auto play very entertaining great across the pond review! Gimme some skin blood!!! 😂👍🏾
A long long time ago when I was fishing I discovered It always pays to invest in the best tackle you can afford for the sake of the fish. That includes a pair of pliers to flatten the barb of the hook so that it doesn't hurt the fish.
Beautiful video guys, thanks
great video and lovely fish. by the way your rocking the glasses look I.B !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much Ethan, you're as always really kind 😍❤❤

I bought a fly rod from lidl in 2008 and if it wasn't for lidl I would never have gotten into fly fishing. I still use the rod to this day.
Awww that's so cool to hear!! 11 years of amazing memories all down to one purchase!
I got nothing spinner fishing would love trying fly fishing!
Congratulations guys, that’s a crazy view count and so fast 😮👍
Great for you to show budget stuff works as well
Really is, we're amazed and so grateful by all the views!! So so cool ❤❤❤
I.B. xxx
Ieva and Andy Fishing just shows that maybe there’s a lot of interest from people that can not go out and buy expensive tackle but would love to try? Who knows but either way you got people watching. I have fly fishing gear in the garage that I’ve never used 🤦🏻♂️ maybe I should dig it all out 🤣
I think that shows exactly that. When we reviewed the super cheap wish reel that one went very well too, nowhere near as good as this one though! Btw, the wish reel still going very strong. Use it all the time, what a bargain 🥰🙏
Ieva and Andy Fishing 🤣🤣👍
Fishing for 9 years . Always wanted to try fly fishing
I am very interessed to learn flyfishing and this ALDI Combo looks great for a Novice who didn't want to spend a lot of Money. Great Vid,full of Informations👍✌Greetings from Germany😎
Have you ever thought trying the maxcatch extreme combo?
It's rod, reel, line, leader, reel case, Rod case, flies box, flies and something else for less than 40 quid.
Take care of yourselves.
Never seen it anywhere! Will have to have a look into this.

I really love the spirit and the energy of this channel! Keep going 💯👍🏻
This looks brilliant! Thanks for posting this video. I had all of my gear stolen a couple of years ago and I just looked at this rod thinking about getting it to start fishing again - but I thought that it would be a total duff at that price so your vid was a decision maker!
Another cracking video Andy & Ieva. Interesting that they included a DT line rather than WF. What’s that like for beginners do you reckon?
very kind sir, thank you! I was surprised by that too, I can only assume it's been done for presentation purposes, being a shorter rod and all - in truth I'm not sure though!
My sons river fishing taken to the next level 👍
Awesome vid as always...
When I discovered your channel I was hooked!
really glad you're enjoying the videos, many thanks for the kind words! What sort of fishing do you do?
Ps, loving the videos. ( pike / perch angler from the southwest here) recently snapped my shimano vengeance while trying to catch pike with the new 4d line thru trout, always wanted to give fly fishing a go since I started fishing at 10. Now 19 😂. Some beautiful brownys and rainbows down this end, you guys should fish Some of the southwest
Awesome video! I bought my first fly fishing combo for about $30 online. The brand is Martin. It came with everything the one in this video did. That was two years ago and I've been fly fishing ever since. I'm in North Carolina US by the way. I.B. love those glasses! I subscribed and look forward to future videos from you two! :)
Invest another 100$ and get something decent, I bought my bro it and it's horrid lol, good setup for beginners but if you have used anything nice it feels like a toy story kids rod
That's amazing!! So cool that you enjoyed flyfishing so much and sticked to it! You will have to share with us some of your awesome fishing stories!!!
And thank you for the love 😍❤🤓🤓
I.B. xxx 🤓
This set looks and performs way better than the first set I had when I started flyfishing 37 years ago...!
Have you tried to stick the reel and line on one of your rods? The line looks quite good!
We did actually discuss this yes, I think we may well do just that!
@@IBandAndyFishing great stuff, hopefully you can film the results.
Great casting though IB
nice video and nice review! I was just curious about these rods as I have been always taught that the "less you spend the more you spend" (meaning that things eventually break and you buy more of them) but where is this place? what river is that?
I worked for Lidl and there would be queues of people outside at 5 in the morning waiting to buy the fishing gear in March lol
Any idea where i could get this set apart from lidl i missed out on it :(
Its basically a fibre glass rod, can tell by the thickness at the handle end, they were all like this at one time and basically is what I started off my fly fishing on years ago when I was around 18, in fact I still have my old Shakespeare 9 ft fibre rod 7-8 wt I think, which i bought in a similar set for £15 in Fort William or Fort Augustus, Scotland maybe 45 years ago (with which I then promptly set off to the River Moriston to try and catch a 20lb or more salmon on a #14 wet Coch y bondhu! ..I never did mind aha!) but it throws a fantastic line, the last time, again years ago, was with a cortland 444 9wt intermediate with some ease I have to say.......and as we know, glass has been enjoying a resurgence in popularity because it is still an excellent material for slower, softer action rods without the expense (or shouldn't be!). However by virtue of the material it is, you can't get the finer diameter blanks as with carbon....so you have to have the 'bigger butt end' for strength tapering down to a slimmer tip. Oliver Kite apparently had the best season he'd ever had during 1961 using his Milbrolite fibre rods! Oh....and I'm now convinced those 'pheremones' (which women have) really do work.....so if you want to catch really big fish, maybe stand next to IB when you are fishing!!......Aha!
fantastic video guys. wish my wife would come fishing
Mark Lines take her on a nice sunny day say she can top up her tan and read some books ect if that don’t temp her nothing will
I'm sure she will one day Mark! Introduce her to fishing slowly.. 😍❤
I.B. xx
fantastic well done both of you
Great informative and well shot vid, I’ve only ever fished the coast but heading to Wales later this year, so might have to see if I can get hold of 1 of these to try the streams, don’t suppose you fancy doing a idiots guide to getting started on the fly?
Hahaha! Idiots guide done by 2 idiots - now there's a name for the video! We will certainly be doing so much of instructional and basics videos this year, keep an eye out!
Good luck on your Wales trip

I still have yet to learn how to fly fish. I already have a rod sat unused for over five months now, so I don't need another; however if you guys ever do a competition to teach a subscriber then that is a something I would enter. Good luck to however wins.
