>>582491Depends on what you're fishing for. For bass you should shoot for an 8 weight rod/reel. I'm partial to Sage rods and Ross reels myself. Orvis apparently sells some decent gear at good prices (but they also have overpriced stuff as well so do your homework).
As for flys, start out with some wooly buggers, clouser minnows, and some frog poppers. Bass seem to really like light green for some reason. Prolly a cannibalistic thing I guess.
