Temple Fork rods are a great buy and cast as well as rods costing 2-3 times as much and their warranty ($25 replacement) is great especially if you do any rock hopping. There are many reel choices but a good basic reel is the Tioga ( I think it is made by Teton). I would go with a 9 or 10 weight simply because it will allow you to throw a wider selection of flies and will allow you to deal with the wind better. 8 weights are ok for estuaries and protected areas but on the outside you need a little more in my opinion especially if you hook into a monster.
