Best Low Budget Fly Rods And Reels???

Need a 7 wt? I still have Swimmy's old echo 7 weight. It's yours if you want it.

Dean, I'll echo the recommendation of the Redington Classic Trout. They've gone up to $189 now, but are still a terrific deal for a medium action trout rod. And if it interests you, I can send you a 9' 5 wt Ordella - it's built on a Rainshadow blank and similar to the CT but I no longer use it.

I don't know of any real bargains on quality fly reels. But cheap, reliable line holders abound on Ebay. Lots of old school cheapos going for around $35.

I have a Redington 8wt you can have and I am in Spokane. Shoot me a message

Hell, I'll give you TFO 9' 5wt with a Ross reel and line and throw in a box of flies, just send me an address and I'll send them out!

If there's anything specific you're after, shoot me a PM and I'll dig into the pile.

Thanks Evan!!!

All I can say is WOW to the numerous generous offers when all I was looking for was suggestions.
This is truly an amazing community!!!
I've always been more of a giver than a receiver but I will send DM's to those that offered equipment.
By spring I hope that most of this insurance stuff is resolved and we can get on with life.

Again, thanks to all,
Dean
