I have many Sage, Winston, Orvis, Scott, anyway you see where I am going. A bunch of expensive light weight wonder sticks.
I have been fly fishing the most my life and I am old, female. I guided, taught. I have tried every aspect there is to fishing.
Ideally a nice 10' 6 wt light to the touch, but then the short rods have a great place.
I fish every day. And the rod I always grab, is a CABELA'S CGR 5/6 weight $59. The fact is is part glass and part graphite makes it not only a great learning tool, but it can feel everything. You can use lighter tippet and let the rod do the work.
Just my opinion. But the Allen's fly fishing put out some nice sticks too for best bang for the buck.
I will add I use an Icon reel but I do not skimp on line. I am using Shark Skin...still.
