Im kinda of a die hard cabela brand (I cant afford the rest
). Im cheap and they seem to always have good deals on cabela rod and reels. They always seem to suit my needs well.
Kind of depends what you plan to fish. My first was a 6 piece 4wt combo kit from cabela since i was going to be fishing rivers. Later I got a 6wt for the lakes. 6wt will be way to big for smaller streams and rivers.
Best advice is watch you tube and practice, practice, practice in your back yard with yarn instead of a hook. practice a ton before you go to a fish or you will get frustrated from all the expensive flys you lose in the tree's :violent-smiley-031:
buy all your flys online, you can easily find them for 50c vs $3 at cabela. I just looked up top 10 best fly or nythms and bought those since starting it to hard to be matching the hatch and what not.
Cheers :coffeedrink:
