or $300 each for rod/reel/line combos.


Suggestions would be much appreciated. TIA.

For reels, I recommnend these a lot to various people;

No useless bling, and extremely functional and robust.

For small stream fishing I like Vivarellis;

but they may take a while to get used to if you are used to more
conventional reels, and may or may not suit you. They are also quite
expensive.
