Back to the subject of inexpensive rods and reels. As a relative noob myself, I believe that it makes sense to start out with moderately priced gear until I know what works best for me.
I shop Craig's List sometimes and have run across a guy named Gerry who sells a lot of very high quality stuff from his garage in Carlsbad. He offers some of the lesser known brands at very reasonable prices. He also sells some the good stuff but so far I have not yet dipped into that pool.
I am not a shill for Gerry so if you are interested, go to Craig's List and search for the stuff you want. He is a regular poster.
