I started with a $35 dollar rod and a small collection of gear almost 8 years ago and now i have thousands of dollars tied up in it.
The rod i had worked well till i upgraded 2 years later to a Reddington RS2 5wt. I wouldn't spend alot right off so it isn't a big loss if you don't like it or the gear you chose. There are few basics you need: Rod/reel, tippit, gink(if fishing dries), small sinkers and indicators, a good pair of clippers for line, some different flies(dries, nymphs, and some streamer patterns). Someone else can chime in on what flies because i have to take my little boy fishing. Hope this helps. Good luck.
