LSH, you took the words right out of my mouth exactly! I've gotten back into it in last 3 years, and it about made my head spin considering which? I did go for a Orvis Hydros Superfi e 4wt, because I thought it would be perfect for my need, and it has been. But for the most, I still have used a new SA Air Cel 6wt on my Smallue rod about 3 years ago, $29, it's everything I needed for that! The Internet has sold stuff beyond compare, so they just keepexpanding. Used to it was by word of mouth or fly-fishing magazines, people didn't bite just anything!
And I said same thing about the reels, perfect description. I still use my old Plueger Medalist on my smallmouth rod. The new Orvis Battenkill Click & Pawl I got last year, is the ultimate small stream trout reel, I'm loving mine!
