"Lionel,

I think the Springbrook TFO 'Series 1' that is $89.00 USD is pretty nice.

They are 2 piece and come in a lot of great sizes. For trout the popualr or
average size in the US is a 9' #5 line.

Orvis has the 'Clearwater' series of fly reels that are made in their
factory in England for $39.00 USD.

Hi y'all,
I'm a novice fisherman.
I'm looking for a good cheap rod.
What is the best rod for $100.00?

I know there is probably more than one opinion per person on this,
but it should make some interesting talk.

Also, the best cheap reel.

We're talking trout fishing here.
