A 9 wt is a good starting point. You do not need to spend big $$. Get one in the mid range with a good return policy. Go to a store and try out the rods. They vary greatly in regards to stiffness. If you are fimilar with a certain action with freshwater stay with it.

For a reel, look for the best you can afford. It should have a good drag system. Look at the frame and spin the reel look for any wobble. If it does stay away.

Good luck and have fun!!
