Summer vacation in RI

Hi !
I live in Brittany, western coast of France, where I've been fishing the bass (smaller species than stripers, up to 15 lbs!) for a few years.
My favourite method is topwater plug fishing (what do you do on this forum, man !?), but last summer the weather was so warm and the water so clear that... Forget the plugs !
I've been successful in flyfishing (a few trouts in freshwater), though I still consider myself a newcomer, and would like to get into saltwater.

The high prices in Europe for good American stuff (not to name it, in my opinion : Sage, Scott...) suggest I'd get a good deal if I bought it during my vacation in August, in RI.

So a few questions :
- What kind of rods/reels do people use around ?
- Is a 8'6 ft 8 wt a good idea ?
- Where can I get a good deal on an outfit (are the discontinued Sage RPLXi stil available somewhere ? With a fair discount ? )
- What are the good "every body knows" spots to flyfish in RI, without a boat ?
- What are the successful flies to use : clousers ? deceivers ? minnows ? shrimps ?

Many thanks for your help,
Olivier
