I'm relatively new to fly fishing. Had, and still have a cheapo graphite rod. Took an all day course down in Lexington and used a few different rods and got used to feeling the differences between them all. Came away wanting a slightly less that 9 foot 5 weight. Picked up a Sage Flight (still on closeout) last year and a Greys reel. All for under 320 bucks, including backing and line. Last week I relined it with heavier line and I know love that rod. I had consistency issues in cast but with 6 wt line, its where I want it to be. I sometimes pull out the Scientific Anglers cheap rod and mess around but you can feel the difference. Echo, Sage, Redington, St. Croix have some great rods for not a lot of money. Perusing Ebay for lightly used rods is always fun too. There are a ridiculous amount of used once or twice high end rods and reels.
