I'd like some opinions on fly rods please.

Been fishing all my life , coarse and sea, just had my
first fly casting lesson, and need a rod.

Im thinking about either a Daiwa Whisker MK2 or a Grey's G-series ?
9 foot, #6/7 Both about £50-£60. Ive been told its better to
have a slight 'soft' action ?

Any suggestions ?

thanks,

M.
