Look !!!
When people give advice you have to read between the lines.
You yourself have to experiment being new to fly fishing and when I say you I don't mean you Roger I mean any new guy as you.
1st I don't agree with you about the Pflueger Medalist. I have owned a half dozen of them about $40.00 AND that is just what they are worth. Excellent in freah water but s--k in salt water. They will pit up instantly. I have a Cortland 200 which they stopped making cost $100.00
2nd A $100.00 rod does not compare to a good Sage Rpxl or an Orvis.
I agree with you about lines. Intermediate and a sinking line is a must here on Cape Ann. Brand is a matter of preferance. I use an Orvis Depth Charge. Would not have any other, but that is my preferance and the grain matches my #10 weight. And that is a good all around weight for stripers.
Anybody starting out in fly fishing is going to spend allot of money in the long run to get comfortabably suited.
Also I don't completly agree with steelhead. BUT IT WAS A GOOD ARTICLE. It was an all around article. Today people want you to take them by the hand and do there home work for them, what type of gear do I need;show me your fishing spots Etc Etc.
A floating line is not my preferance. An intermediate line will do the same thing even when using poppers just have to start moving it when it hits the water. I use a full sinking line in just 10' of water sometimes.
