Thanks much in advance for any advice!!!

Cheap! LOL.

Let me backup a bit. Welcome aboard!

Actually you can make ff as inexpensive or as expensive as you like. A word of caution, fly tying is a terrible addiction that will suck your childrens college funds dry.

Back to your question. I don't think you can go wrong with either rod. At this point in the game you need to just get out and practice. There is plenty of great info on the main board to help you on your way and the bb is full of good folks ready to help. Hopefully you have a buddy or club you can get live help from as well.
