Rod/Reel advice?
Hello everyone,
I am returning to fly fishing agter a 10 year break. My question is
regarding equipment. I am looking at a few options and would like some
advice. I can either get a complete rod, reel, line combo (new) OR piece
together a setup from used components. I'm not familiar with the new
equipment and any help is appreciated.
Friends have recommended the following 9' 5wt setups:
Orvis Streamline Rod and Entry Reel (forgot the reel model) $140
Cabelas Prestige Combo $160
G. Loomis GL2 Kit (plastic reel feels flimsy) $180
Orvis Clearwater Rod and Entry Reel (forgot reel model) $250
Sage RPL590 and 106M reel (Used but in good shape) $250
Which setup would have the most bang for the buck for a guy who is
re-learning (semi-beginner)? Any other recommendations not listed here?
