I got most of my sal****er gear on eBay. Havent had any trouble with any of it.
I bought my Orvis Vortex reels for around 350$

From some HongKong forums, I have learned that there is some freshwater
fishing there on the dams, but a LOT of sal****er fishing around the islands
and bays. So I need to add some more gear to my haul. Can anyone recommend a
brand and some models of sal****er flyfishing gear that is not too pricey? I
seem to remember that, usually, sal****er reels tend to be at the high end
of the price range, is this correct? And is there anything different or
special about a rod that will be used for swff?

I could just use my freshwater gear and rinse it regularly, but I think I'd
rather have sal****er gear, flies and equipment and keep them separate. But
I don't want to spend another fortune on gear. I guess another option would
be to go bottom-end on some more freshwater gear, and if it corrodes then
its no great shakes. But that just feels wrong.

What do folks recommend?
