[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Hi there 5282jt and welcome to the Fly Fishing board. These folks have given you some good advise. I would also opt for the TFP rod. Also a good quality line is a must. It will probably cost you in the area of + $50.00. Many of the new lines don't require any dressing. S&A, Rio, Cortland to name a few are all worthy manufactures of quality fly lines. Something else that you won't have to worry about. A 5/6 wt rod is a good wt to start with. The prices that you quoated are the same that I found on line. A rod tube will cost you another $22.95. Good luck and name your first after me. Fish that is.[/size][/green][/font][
