id recommend the 5 wt Redington Crosswater fly rod kit in either 2 or 4 piece, built after Redington was acquired by Sage.. Around $99.99 or $129.99 ... Great, great starter rod in my small opinion, Im still starting out, but I liked it a lot when I fished my friends. But not just that, I know lots of adults who enjoy fishing it too. make sure to get the new model, not the 3/4 , 5/6 models.. im not a big fan of my ol Hobbs Creek, but I do admit buying a new line makes a word of difference, but adds another $40-60 to cost
