[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 714965, member: 4319"] Thanks for the notice D. Hoddy, that is a good deal. Gillman, If you are starting out and looking to get a decent setup, I highly reccomend Mark at RDP flyrods. He is a great guy and builds custom rods on tiger eye blanks for a great price (sub $200 range). He will use whatever reel seats, guides and thread color you want. My go to rod is 8'-6" 4/5wt (it is closer to 5) from RDP with mid-range Ross reel spooled with Wulff Tri-Taper and it is a great rig, hard to beat for the money. A 8"-6" 4/5 wt is a versatile rod and will work well for most stream fishing. With my ability/fishing style and the water I frequent, a more refined rod would be a waste.

Would come in handy in spots where longer rods dare not go.:D ETA: The heat messed with my brain, I like an 8'-6" rod, not 7'-6" for most situations, although I own both. [/QUOTE]
