Default Saltwater Fly Fishing Rig
Can anyone recommend a saltwater fly fishing rig that is affordable and will handle trout. Its something I would like to try but not break the bank.

A good flats rig is expensive unless you find a good deal on a used one. What size motor you wanting to run?

Reddington crosswater makes a decent entry level rod and reel combo. It comes already pre rigged with backing and a weight forward floating line. If your going to target just trout a 6-7 weight combo would work fine. You can get the Reddington combos at bass pro shops for less than $150

8weight is plenty for upper slot reds. If you are gonna target the big bulls you might need a 9-10

I have one of the rods Lucas sells. Very high quality rod for the money. The case and extra tip it comes with are a bonus as well. You cant go wrong with this rod

When you come back to work Jason? I can bring my setup and show it to you hands on. I have 1 of Lucas's rods and I'll put it in my truck tomorrow morning when I get home. I'll be here all week on nights.
