[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Hi the metal_fish and welcome to fly swatters anonymous. You present a good question. There are several factors to consider. An inexpensive set up will certainly work for you however, if you find that you really like the sport of FFing then you won't be satisified with cheap equipment. I would suggest a 6wt setup which is a good general weight to get you started. What is your budget? Some times a few bucks more will get you some better equipment that will last you quite a while. I still have my first 6wt rod and reel which works very well. Naturally I have several other rods of different wts and a bit more expensive. If there is a fly club in your area take time out and attend one of their meeting. Found that club members of just about any group are most willing to help and often will let you try out their rigs when they have fly casting instructions schedule.[/size][/green][/font]
