Best fly rod for the right amount
Hello all, thanks for having me.
I love fly fishing and I'm wondering what is the best rod for the right amount...I have 300$ and know it's not much in the fly fishing world; But I do need something better this year.
any inputs will be appreciated.

I agree with BVK (it's what I use), but IIRC, it'll run more than the OP's $300. My buddy fishes with Grey's rods, and really likes them -- I haven't used them personally, but would trust his judgment any day of the week.

I would suggest Temple Fork Outfitters - IMO a great bang for the buck.
For $150 you can get a good rod that casts well. Then you have that much left for reel and line.

Do you guys with BVKs have problems with the sections coming apart while you are casting?
