This is a package deal for an amazing rod, reel, line, and backing that work great together at a discounted price. In this package we've included an Outlaw Wanted Edition 3wt 11ft Fly Rod, a Qualifly's Drift Fly Reel, Outlaw weight forward Fly Line, and Outlaw backing. Everything needed to get you going and out there catching fish.
The Rod
The Wanted Edition ESN fly rods deliver high-performance precision with a refined fast action designed specifically for serious anglers. Built to outperform competing rods at a fraction of the price, this rod proves you don’t have to spend a fortune to fish with elite-level gear.
We believe premium performance should be accessible. That’s why we’ve spent years perfecting every detail, from balance and responsiveness to fit and finish. The result is a rod that not only performs at the highest level but looks and feels exceptional in hand.
Every component was carefully chosen and crafted. The hand-turned real burlwood reel seat insert pairs beautifully with our custom-designed cork grip and detailed inlays, giving the rod a distinctive, high-end appearance. At its core is the true heart of performance: the blank! Featuring our next-level technology, this rod offers reduced weight, heightened sensitivity, faster recovery, and improved rebound—translating into pinpoint accuracy and superior strike detection.
Designed specifically for Euro and Czech-style nymphing, this rod maximizes sensitivity and dampening. The soft tip protects light tippets while maintaining the backbone needed to confidently battle larger fish. Purpose-built for rivers and streams, it gives you the control, finesse, and power required to dominate technical water.

The Reel
The Drift is fully machined from 6061 aluminum bar stock heat treated to a T6 condition, which significantly increases strength. We designed the frame with a full cage to minimize the possibility of getting your leader or Euro Nymphing line wrapped around the spindle. The Drift was designed with a large arbor for fast line retrieval. To help balance your set up we designed the reel to be customized by using one of our balancing rings (.5, 1, and 1.25 oz rings included). These stainless rings are mounted over the center drag housing on the inside of the frame to maintain the perfect center of gravity at the reel’s center. The ring is held in place with a setscrew. We provide a high-quality machined screwdriver to secure the weight in place.
The spool is fully ported and balanced for fast line drying and smooth vibration free operation.
The Drift utilizes the proven technology of our Razorback reel. The use of our cone drive gives the Drift an incredibly strong and stable feel. It eliminates the effects of torque and shock by providing additional surface contact and by locking the spool into place on a conical cylinder.
Our drag system uses multiple carbon discs to apply smooth stopping power. It is fully sealed and can be used in saltwater. We even seal our reverse direction bearing. This gives us one of the most robust and watertight drags on the market today.
The Drift can be switched to right or left hand retrieval with instructions included. Protective neoprene pouch with weight ring storage included. YOU WILL NEED TO CHOOSE THE COLOR YOU WANT AT CHECKOUT.
