Definitely check out TFO (Temple Fork Outfitters). They have a line called the Finesse Series, think the 5 weight is around $175. I have the 3 weight in that series, my brother-in-law has the 5 weight which I bought as a gift for him. The rods are extremely well built including all hardware, come with a lifetime warranty, have a pretty slick dark green color to them, and have an awesome medium-fast action that won't be too far off of your old Fenwick. There are plenty of reels in the $125-$150 range - check out Lamson, the Orvis Access is in that range and is a great reel, Pflueger also makes a pretty tight old style reel which is about $100 and works great. The only downside to the TFO rods is that they don't come with a rod tube, so build in another $30 into the price and get yourself a sturdy tube.

I was looking to get a new Fly rod combo. I have my grandfather's old 8 wt Fenwick and wanted a nice 5wt. I was looking to spend around $350 and was hoping to get some ideas as to good quality combos.
