Wow- why skimp on the rod? For a better line? Ok- my mind works the opposite, I'll buy the best rod I can't afford, and skimp on a cheaper line, until I can buy the one I really want. Replacing a line is a lot cheaper than the rod...
You'll get more out of a good rod throwing a mediocre line than a medicore rod throwing a good line.
My 2 more cents.
I intially came back to say that although I use a modified "provo bounce rig" with an indicator, i rarely roll cast- I cast my set-up like it were a dry fly, and never get "bored" doing it. Using an indicator, any kind, on any set up, is only a way to increase the # of fish you detect. It won't make you a better fisherman, only hours on the riv er can do that.
I find it a bit like archery- there are some guys that use sights, and some that are instictive--- neither are wrong. Just different. And my opinion on the rod selection- is just different. Good luck, and tight lines!
