hiya tt89 and welcome to the forum..
there are some good beginning outfits out there by good manufacturers.. they are usually well balanced as for the size and weight of the rod and reel combination... but as FG said.. the rod is the most important component.. but the reel balances things out.. but with most outfits like this the lines are not always the top of the line one.. so be sure and check on that as well... you will probably end up getting a better line but you dont have to lay out a ton of money to get a good wf line..
another good place to start your search is at a local fly shop...there is a wealth of information available to you just by asking questions there..
dont overlook the internet.. do some research.. as FG said.. google roll cast and you will get a ton of video clips on how to cast; how to anything with fly fishing... :-)
lastly.. please dont hesitate to ask your questions here as well.. there is a wealth of information with out members here and we are all willing to answer as best we can...
