<p>I would find it hard to argue with either the TFO Sig II or Redington Path combos, if they're in the budget..<br/>If it were me, I'd go with the Redington. package.</p>

<p>I messed around with a couple of different set ups but finally put my ego in check and picked up a 3 wt from Cabelas. Rod, reel, line and leader - great package for under $100. Took a couple of fly casting lessons from a FFI Certified Instructor and really enjoying the adventure. I've caught pan fish and small bass on the 3 wt and it's a blast! Good luck on your journey!</p>
