The Prestige fly rod combo is on sale at Cabelas right now I think 129.99
That's a great deal on a good reel! As for picking which one, just match the fly line weight on the reel chart to your rod weight-for example, if you have a 3-wt rod, you want the 1-4 reel, or with a 5 wt rod, you want the 5-6.
A 7-8 reel on a 3 wt rod would be way too big and heavy and unbalanced, and vice-versa. All the other stuff you don't need to worry about-it's fixed with whichever size reel you get, and should match your rod.
Thanks Brother. That takes care of rod and reel. What about line and leaders. Can you make a recommendation. Would be nice to order it all at once.

You can have more success faster, if you take a ff101 class and especially if you get casting lessons. Contact any Of the local fly shops.
Lessons are great if you can find them. You can get some good demos and tips from videos, too. Mel Krieger got me started. Lefty Kreh is a great one to watch, too. Several on Youtube.
Thanks. Not aware of any fly shops in central Georgia. Fly fishing doesn’t hold the mystique down here it does in the mountains.
