Now to explain to my wife why I need yet another rod and reel

Teach her how to fly-fish

Worked for my hubby.... LMAO

Although, that presents the additional problem of having to get double the gear!

Most are fishing Stripers from a boat so a 9' rod is the most popular. maybe longer for wading.

2, 3 or 4 piece all work for local fishing.

It seems that #6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 line weights are the most popular right now.

Lots of good rod and reel combos in that $600 range.

The Scott A3, Sage Launch, TFO TiCrX, Echo and Redington CPX are all around $300.

Redington CDL, Sage 2000, Orvis Battenkill LA Big Game, Waterworks Guru and Galvan Rush are all wonderful fly reels at great prices.

For top water most are using a Rio Outbound Short Coldwater floating line.

For slow sinking most are using a Rio Outbound Short Coldwater clear slow sinking line.

For the fast get down there are lots of choices: Lots of integrated "Teeny type" sink-tips with 24 to 30 foot very fast sinking heads.

Some use 27 to 30 feet of Lead-core or T-14 attached to a running line.
