Best Fly Rod for the $$$?

[doggonefishin]

There are guys far more knowledgeable than I on the subject, but one tip that may help is to go into Cabelas or SW and "cast" several options in your price range. You may find you like the "feel" of a certain rod over another and that would be your best choice. I did that and I got a decent nymphing rod for a good price that I've been happy with for the last couple years.

I agree that a decent midrange (not cheap/not budget busting) reel will serve you just fine.
