TFO rods are a good choice. Try to cast one if possible. In my opinion they cast as well as or better than rods 2-3 times their cost with different models to suit your casting style and budget. That will leave you about $100 bucks for a reel and line. Not much but a Medalist 1498 and about $60 remaining should buy you an intermediate line. I like Cortland or Airflow clear intermediates. Buy 1 line size over your rod rating. Later you could upgrade the reel. Spend the bulk of the money on the rod and not the reel at first.
