sis,
you may have a point there but dont completely discount less expensive gear as cheap crap.. in my case I had always wanted to try fly fishing.. and since 20.00 was a good deal I went for it.. just as Jim has on his Pfleuger.. my interest may of waned but never lost it.. I think Jim will be the same way given time and practice..
also.. dont forget some of the whiteriver combo line from bass pro.. they run in your mid range .. and from what I have seen and been told are good starters.. in my case I resisted that intermediate urge and saved for my launch and orvis reel.. dont regret it in any way.. it was that extra waiting and beating up of the other rod that made me confident enough to buy a good mid price rod...
I agree on the ebay etc.. and this site has an auctions link under the features menu that has a lot to offer as well..
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Jim............. welcome to the forum and thank you for posting such a stimulating question.. I for one am looking forward to future posts from you .. hopefully ones with pictures of the fish you have brought to hand..[/#800000][/font]
