[black][size 3]Hey 5282jt,[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I have one of those Cortlands(along with a number of other lower end rods for loaners etc.) those are pretty good for the money. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]However, for a few bucks more, Temple fork rods are mighty fine instruments. If money can be budgeted, I would go in that direction. But remember, the Rod is just one of the items that need to be considered in the budget. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]That said, I would recommend putting as much of the budget as you can afford into the Rod and the Fly Line. If you need to scimp, do it on the reel - there are a lot of cheapos available that will more than aqauately hold even the best of fly lines. [/size][/black]
