Last year, I finally got fed up with my old Shakespeare 5-wt rig. Went looking and found http://www.albrightflyfish.com/

Bought a 5-wt Topwater rod and Bugati reel. Since then, I've given two as presents, bought a 3-wt for myself, and plan to buy an 8-wt. I can't recommend them strongly enough. OH! And the price? The Topwater models I bought can be had for $50 each (for rod or reel, not both).
