Chuck~ I am a die-hard T&T caster but they tend to be pricey. I loaded my arsenal with a few TFO's (Temple Fork) and like the way they cast, and the price is right. However, the other day at the Denver FF show I played with some Reddington rods and fell in love with the CPS series. They cast great and are pretty cheap. You may want to look into them. As for reels, you can't go wrong with most of the Ross series.
