I am a big fan of equipment that is good, functional and cheaper than most o the big names. I have only recently started using the "high end equipment" and it really is nice but it is not essential in being able to catch fish. I could probably say that I use the lowest end stuff you can buy or make. I have been using a 4wt home made blank for the past 3 years. Before that was the good old wwgrigg. that was a 5 wt. and the best rod to use for me while I was getting the hang of things. I diddnt care if I dropped it or my dogs kicked it over or whatever. It was durable and caught me a bunch of fish. So that is my point, Buy what you can afford and still be able to go fishing for the rest of the season. []
