I would like to buy a decent rod in the $200-$300 range and was hoping
some of you might offer me some advise on manufacturers. I live in the
north-east and mostly go for trout but have been lucky enough to have work
ship me to ireland for a few salmon runs on the river Lee in Cork. Any
thoughts are appreciated!

I might take a load of s**t for this, but I'm really happy with my Cabela's
SLi 5wt. Casts very nicely for any price, and a travel rod (untried by me)
is available. Good luck, tight line and all else that might be relevant :-)

Cheers,
Bill
