Now, I would like some practical suggestion regarding equipment.
Again, I will be fishing for mostly Panfish and Bass in lakes,
streams and rivers. Practical equipment to me means a value at the
novice level that will provide some length of life throughout my
fly-fishing experience. Suggestions and reommendations from the
experts on this forum would
be greatly appreciated. I just want the best bang for my buck and an
enoyable experience.

A nine foot six weight, medium fast action and a decent reels should
do it.

For a big bass, maybe, but for panfish a 4wt would be a lot more fun.
Catch this baby ( http://css.sbcma.com/timj/pics/9mile-3.jpg ) on a six
weight and you wouldn't even know it was there.

And, Wayne, I am absolutely *ashamed* of you for recommending just one
rod.
