I have been using an outift from Redington. The Crosswater rod and reel. Not the best I am sure but does just fine for me. The whole outfit consisting of rod, reel, line and everything for under $100. I also have read good things about the Scientific Anglers "ready to fish" combo on a bulletin board where I never thought I would read about a "good, and inexpensive combo" but I haven't tried one myself. I think the whole thing is about $65. Also, I am a fan of TFO rods but they are a little higher than these.

When you purchase an inexpensive rod there are two considerations ... can you cast the rod comfortably and what type of warranty does the rod have. Not all inexpensive rods have the same warranty ... The Temple Fork Outfitters series is a good choice and they have a lifetime no fault warranty ... you break the rod they send you a new one for a small fee.
