You can't go wrong with either TFO or the Echo Base package as suggested above. The Echo Base package is right around the $200 - 220 point. TFO warranty replacement is handled in Calgary. At least a couple of the fly shops in Calgary keep replacement tips for the Echo Base rod. My primary stream and lake rods are TFO rods and my backup rod is an Echo Base. The Echo Base has a great action for beginner. I use a 5 wt for most of my stream and river fishing.
