[QUOTE="camoman, post: 196138, member: 571"] Check out Redington fly gear. They have a good range of prices on their rods. Does sound like a 5 wt rod will be what you're looking to fish the majority of the time, although depending on the size of the fish you'll regularly catch I wouldn't be afraid to go 4 wt. If you plan to fish a lot of heavy cover (timber/woods) you might want to consider a shorter rod 8'-8'6" (6" can make a huge difference). For most trout fishing you don't need anything special for a reel, it will basically serve as a line manager. For bigger fish that can make runs and put you into your backing you'll want a better real. The Cabelas RLS+ is not a reel I would want to fight larger fish (salmon, steelhead, etc) - you'll have to spend a few bucks here to get something decent (Redington Rise is a decent choice, but also look into Cheeky, Lamson, Loop, Sage for good reels).
