[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]I am certainly not looking down my nose at those who have to buy an economy system. Hey you spend what the budget will allow. Years ago after seeing some guys fly fishing, I said that is something I must learn how to do. While my father like to fly fish when not bait casting I never saw him in action. Sure sorry that I didn't go with him a couple of times instead of chasing skirts. lol Anyhow as I probably mentioned before I picked up a Fenwick Eagle Claw 8½' 6wt and an S&A 4/5/6 reel for $140. After 20 years both are still in excellent shape. I didn't give up spin fishing right away but finally got bored with it and have been dedicated to fly fishing ever since. If I was starting over again I would see if I could rent a fly rod for a few days to see whether or not I would like this method of fishing. If I did then I would probably spring for a mid price system. Heck a good rod should last a life time & then some.[/size][/#008000][/font]
