I apologize in advance for yet another "I'm a beginner, what should I buy..." post. Yes, I'm a newbie and interested mainly in a fairly inexpensive freshwater outfit for panfish and small bass. After reading a bunch on this and other forums, I'm leaning towards a 5 or 6wt Cabelas Stowaway. As far as a reel, not sure whether to get the Okuma Sierra or Ross Flystart - but those seem like two solid choices for about $40 or less. Any opinions or suggestions? Does it even matter for this kind of fishing?

Thanks for the help!
